[Intro]
 Am   C   F(x2)
[Verse 1]
AmI lay arCound this stillborn SFunday
the Amnameless, graceless wCreck you leave in Fme
AmI stood silent Cat your waking thFeater,
AmDeluded and grotCesque, I hemorrhage hFistory
[Chorus]
CBut I won't be vGisited agaiAmn
By the gChosts of things that Gnever came to Fbe
CI won't let Gmy heart settle iAmn
To the fCallow soil that spGrawls out
From the fAmringes of the sFwaying GSalton SCea
[Interlude]
 C   Am(x2)
[Verse 2]
We lAmet their hurried bCeat busy our bFones
But our tAmempo tempered hCearts are always Fidle
AmWe drink the wCater from their fFountain
CThis place could nAmever be the tFhings that we both nGeed
No, tChis place could neAmver be the tFhings that we both nGeed
[Verse 3]
And FI want the tAmhings that I can't Ghave
And FI need to fAmind a new way oGut
And I will cCrawl out from the wGreckage of my pFast
And we'll fCall head first and wGeary of
The Amplace we've hung our hFats for all these yGears
AmWait for the nGight, we'll disappear
[Chorus]
CBut I won't be vGisited agaiAmn
By the gChosts of things that Gnever came to Fbe
CI won't let Gmy heart settle iAmn
To the fCallow soil that spGrawls out
From the fAmringes of the sFwaying GSalton SCea

[Intro]

Am C F

(x2)

[Verse 1]

Am C F

I lay around this stillborn Sunday

Am C F

the nameless, graceless wreck you leave in me

Am C F

I stood silent at your waking theater,

Am C F

Deluded and grotesque, I hemorrhage history

[Chorus]

C G Am

But I won't be visited again

C G F

By the ghosts of things that never came to be

C G Am

I won't let my heart settle in

C G

To the fallow soil that sprawls out

Am F G C

From the fringes of the swaying Salton Sea

[Interlude]

C Am

(x2)

[Verse 2]

Am C F

We let their hurried beat busy our bones

Am C F

But our tempo tempered hearts are always idle

Am C F

We drink the water from their fountain

C Am F G

This place could never be the things that we both need

C Am F G

No, this place could never be the things that we both need

[Verse 3]

F Am G

And I want the things that I can't have

F Am G

And I need to find a new way out

C G F

And I will crawl out from the wreckage of my past

C G

And we'll fall head first and weary of

Am F G

The place we've hung our hats for all these years

Am G

Wait for the night, we'll disappear

[Chorus]

C G Am

But I won't be visited again

C G F

By the ghosts of things that never came to be

C G Am

I won't let my heart settle in

C G

To the fallow soil that sprawls out

Am F G C

From the fringes of the swaying Salton Sea
