Verse 1
(C minor) Pave these streets with open arm (E flat major) s
It's always you we're
waiting on (F minor)
The skin, (Fsus2) the taste,
the drug, the need (D minor)
I'm asking, telling (G major) you, don't leave (C minor)
Erase the lines that we have drawn
(E flat major) It's always you we're waiting on (F minor)
And waiting on and waiting on (G minor)
(Gsus4) And on (G major) and on and on
and on
(C major) (C minor) (C major)
Verse 2
These are our words,
(F major) we built these (A minor) (E minor) vows (A minor)
But all the let (F major) ters of the al (E minor) phabet
could nev (D minor) er spell it out
(D major) These hopes (D minor) and dreams (C major) that (F major)
we tap (A minor) (E minor) through (A minor)
To cling to something (F major) that is (C major) big (E minor) ger than (C major)
the (E minor) veil (G major) that tips at you
(D minor) (E minor) (A minor)

Verse 4
The perfect shoes (C minor) with matching clothes (E flat major)
It is the lie we're always told (F minor)
And nothing masks
the shallow (Fsus2) touch (D minor)
By say (Gsus4) ing (G major) words that
cost so much (C minor)
While you're an addict to the need (E flat major)

The sex, the purge, the pain, the book

we took
(C major) (C minor) (C major)

The morn (G minor) (G major) ing that you've spent,
but you're still (G minor) (G major) an ac (C minor) ci (C major) dent

(C major) We (F major) (C major) are more (F major) than (A minor) (E minor) words
(A minor) that fill (F major) (E minor) our mouths (D major) (D minor)
Drink with (C major) us (F major) then tell (E minor) (A minor) us
the (F major) answers (C major) that we need
(G major)
