Intro:
F#  Bbm  Abm  F#
F#  Bbm   B   F#
Verse 1:
Right when the F#blizzard endBbms, they throw a Abmfucking huge F#parade
A great excF#use for celBbmebration of the Bmess they've F#made
But then when the F#streets get Bbmflooded, we know whaAbmt proximity's F#worth
'cause we're alF#ready here in Bbmthe same place when our Bphones don't F#work
Verse 2: 
(same chords as Verse 1)
So then we lie down in our field and just do nothing at all
And I'm getting ready for when everything is wonderful
For just a couple pairs of broken bones with broken feathers in blood
In a meadow, uncut and understood
Bridge:
  Ebm    Abmx8
We can be an Ebmisland aAbmpart 
From a ceaseless Ebmwar on our Abmheart
Harbored in a Ebmfortress iAbmnsurmountable
Taller than afEbmfliction, saAbmfe wherever we are
Erasing Ebmhorror and Abmdisgust
Rewinding the Ebmsorrow and the Abmrust
Before our Ebmsuffering's Abmsuffering, 
Haven't we Esuffered eF#nough?
Verse 3:
On the morning that we're Bboth 1Ebm9 and newly Eon our Bown
And all we Bknow is "Ebmeach other" and inEvisible Bhomes
We find two empty Bseats in the back Ebmof a car in an empty Eparking Blot
Where all our Bbridges are Ebmabandoned and the Ecops have forBgot
Verse 4:
(same chords as Verse 3)
And I can feel the difference when the day begins
Like all I know is, "This year will be the year we win."
We smoke the paper from the banner from our past parades
And start again, before the memory of the mess we've made.
Outro:
   B     Ebm     E     B(repeated)

Right when the blizzard ends, they throw a fucking huge parade

A great excuse for celebration of the mess they've made

Bridge:

Ebm Abm

We can be an island apart

Ebm Abm

From a ceaseless war on our heart

Ebm Abm

Harbored in a fortress insurmountable

Ebm Abm

Taller than affliction, safe wherever we are

Ebm Abm

Erasing horror and disgust

Ebm Abm

Rewinding the sorrow and the rust

Ebm Abm

Before our suffering's suffering,

E F#

Haven't we suffered enough?

On the morning that we're both 19 and newly on our own

B Ebm E B

And all we know is "each other" and invisible homes

We find two empty seats in the back of a car in an empty parking lot

B Ebm E B

Where all our bridges are abandoned and the cops have forgot

Verse 4:

(same chords as Verse 3)

And I can feel the difference when the day begins

Like all I know is, "This year will be the year we win."

We smoke the paper from the banner from our past parades

And start again, before the memory of the mess we've made.
