N/A

Key: G major

Intro 1

Verse 1
G G 
 
When the bus shelter windows
Em Em 
 
and napkin dispensers surprise
D D 
 
With distorted reflections,
C C 
 
it's never the someone you're hoping to recognize
G G 
 
And the rent is too high living here
Em Em 
 
between reasons to live
D D 
 
Where you can't sleep alone and your memories
C C 
 
groan and the borders of night start to give

Verse 2
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
When you can't save
Cash or conviction,
D D 
 
you're broke and you're breaking
G G 
 
C C 
 
A tired shoelace or a wave
Am Am 
 
So long past past- due,
C C 
 
a new name for everything
G G 
 
D D 
 
C C 
 

Verse 3
G G 
 
When the one- ways collude with
Em Em 
 
the map that you folded wrong
D D 
 
And the route you abandoned is always the path
C C 
 
that you probably should be upon
G G 
 
When the bottle cap ashtrays and
Em Em 
 
intimates' ears are all full
D D 
 
With results of your breath,
C C 
 
and the threads of your fear are unfurled with the tiniest pull

Verse 4
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
One more time, try
Stand with your hands in
D D 
 
your pockets and stare
G G 
 
C C 
 
At the smudge on a newspaper sky
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
And ask it to rain a new name

Interlude 1

for everything

Verse 5
D D 
 
C C 
 
Fire every phrase
A A 
 
They don't want to work
C C 
 
Em Em 
 
for us anymore
D D 
 
C C 
 
Dot and Dash our days
A A 
 
Make your face the flag of a sema
C C 
 
phore

Interlude 2

Verse 6
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
All you won't show
D D 
 
The boxes you brought here and never
G G 
 
C C 
 
unpacked are still patiently waiting to go
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
So put on those clothes you never grew into,
Am Am 
 
D D 
 
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
and smile like you mean it for once
Am Am 
 
If you come back,
C C 
 
bring a new name for everything
