Verse 1
F#5 
B5 
We saw the western coast
D#5 
I saw the hospital
B5 
Nurse the shoreline like a wound
F#5 
B5 
Reports of lover's tryst
D#5 
Were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow
B5 
The quiet things that no one ever knows

Chorus 1
F# 
Keep the blood in your head
and keep your feet on the ground
D#m 
Today's the day it gets tired
B 
Then today's the day we drop down
Give up my body in bed
C# 
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals
F# 
So keep the blood in your head
and keep your feet on the ground
D#m 
Today's the day it gets tired
B 
Then today's the day we drop down
Give up my body in bed
C# 
All for an empty hotel
F# 
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals

Verse 2
F#5 
B5 
I contemplate the day we wed
D#5 
Your friends are boring me to death
B5 
Your veil is ruined in the rain
F#5 
B5 
By then you like to do without
D#5 
There's nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed,
B5 
the parents let them shoulder all the blame

Chorus 2
F# 
So keep the blood in your head
and keep your feet on the ground
D#m 
Today's the day it gets tired
B

Give up my body in bed
C# 
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lowercases and capitals
F# 
So keep the blood in your head
and keep your feet on the ground
D#m 
Today's the day it gets tired
B 
Then today's the day we drop down
Give up my body in bed
C# 
All for an empty hotel
