Standard (EADGBE)

"as someone sets light to the first fire of Autumn

  we settle down, to cut ourselves apart.

cough and twitch from the news on your face

 and some foreign candle burning in your eyes (see bottom for line endings)

(instrumental play same 2 sets of chords above x1)

held to the past, too aware of the pending

  chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale

  enter the fog another low road descending

  away from the cold lust, your house and summertime

(Chorus)

  blind to the last curse of the fair

  pistols and countless eyes

  a trail of white blood betrays

  the reckless route your craft is running

  feed till the sun turns into wood

  dousing an ancient torch

  loiter the whole day through

  and lose yourself in lines dissecting love

(instrumental play same 2 sets of chords in verse)

  your name on my cast and my notes on your stay

  offer me little but doting on a crime

  we've turned every stone and for all our inventions

  in matters of love lost, we've no recourse at all

(Chorus)

  blind to the last curse of the fair

  pistols and countless eyes

  a trail of white blood betrays

  the reckless route your craft is running

  feed till the sun turns into wood

  dousing an ancient torch

  loiter the whole day through and

  lose yourself in lines dissecting,

  lose yourself in lines dissecting, lose yourself in lines dissecting..."
