[Verse]
AmThe sweat cuts rivers in the Ddust
On your Fface
While the wheels beneath compAmlain
The wind still whistles through the Dhaze
The Fsun shines like a razor blade
And the Gbones of crops and banknotes pave the way
[Interlude] 
  Am    G    F   G(8x)
Am  G  F
[Verse]
AmThe highways are Glined with FgravesG  
AmLike the fingerGnails of FgiantsG  
AmLike blood pulled Gthrough a FveinG  
AmWe rush the Gwest in FsilenceG  
And AmI am not the Gone you Fwanted Ghere
But AmI will Gfill my FpostG  
AmHeaven's touch is Goften Fout of Greach
To Amthose who Gwant it Fmost
GYou wear a rose from Fyesterday
Like the Cworld is green and overGgrown
And I wear a handkerFchief around my mouth
To Ckeep the dust and ashes Gout
I dream a glass of FwaterC  
With you dreaming of the Gsea
And I watch my feet and Fyou would watch the sky
And Cwe would wonder why our Geyes no longer Ammeet
[Interlude] 
Am
[Verse]
It was Amhard to call the thing we saw a storm
Like it had cGlimbed from the pages of some novel
And the Fsheets of dust hit everything like waves against the rocks
It was E7morning but I'd be damned if I could tell
And Amyou would hold my hand and close your eyes
And I didn't Dmind
When hell bears its Fteeth
You learn your place and this Amgod forsaken sun could be the moon
For all it proDvides
Eyes are on the Froad
E7Before it disappears again
[Outro]
Am G F E7

[Verse]

Am D

The sweat cuts rivers in the dust

On your face

While the wheels beneath complain

The wind still whistles through the haze

The sun shines like a razor blade

And the bones of crops and banknotes pave the way

[Interlude]

Am G F G

(8x)

Am G F

[Verse]

Am G F G

The highways are lined with graves

Am G F G

Like the fingernails of giants

Am G F G

Like blood pulled through a vein

Am G F G

We rush the west in silence

Am G F G

And I am not the one you wanted here

Am G F G

But I will fill my post

Am G F G

Heaven's touch is often out of reach

Am G F

To those who want it most

G F

You wear a rose from yesterday

C G

Like the world is green and overgrown

And I wear a handkerchief around my mouth

C G

To keep the dust and ashes out

F C

I dream a glass of water

With you dreaming of the sea

And I watch my feet and you would watch the sky

C G Am

And we would wonder why our eyes no longer meet

[Interlude]

[Verse]

It was hard to call the thing we saw a storm

Like it had climbed from the pages of some novel

And the sheets of dust hit everything like waves against the rocks

It was morning but I'd be damned if I could tell

And you would hold my hand and close your eyes

And I didn't mind

When hell bears its teeth

You learn your place and this god forsaken sun could be the moon

For all it provides

Eyes are on the road

Before it disappears again

[Outro]

Am G F E7

Am D F

Am D F E7
