[Intro]
 Em   Em   C   Cx4
[Verse]
EmThe lightning climbing up the walls
EmThe finger drawings on the glass
CThe map of those who used to live here
CUntil the gilded hand was broken
EmOften there's a voice in my sleeping mind
EmThe words inside my skull at night
CBut once I wake, I cannot read them
CMy bloody hands remain a question Gmark
[Chorus]
Sifting through the hiccups of A#time
We'll hide in the bones of the Ccity
The engines sing along with their Gcries
This song, it spells A#disaster
But it's buried beneath the Claughter
[Interlude]
 Em   Em   C   Cx2
[Verse]
EmThe words that fall from out their mouths
EmCan change in your hands and split the skin
CSo I will keep myself apart
Cfrom shining eyes and privileged boredom
EmThe thing that I've learned from unusual blood
EmIs never touch a person's comfort
CThe voice of change is often heard
CBut fear itself has come to visitG  
[Chorus]
Sifting through the hiccups of A#time
We'll hide in the bones of the Ccity
The engines sing along with their Gcries
This song, it spells A#disaster
But we drown it out with Claughter
[Interlude]
 G   Cx2
[Outro]
And our Geyes
They were always pointed at the sky looking for an Canswer
And our Ghands
They were stained in black and grey busy solving Cproblems
And our Embacks all bear the load of all the things we'll never know until it Cbreaks us
And in the Emcomfort of the Earth we will not wonder what we're worth
No, we will sleep Csoundly
All along the Road to Nowhere

[Intro]

Em Em C C

[Verse]

The lightning climbing up the walls

The finger drawings on the glass

The map of those who used to live here

Until the gilded hand was broken

Often there's a voice in my sleeping mind

The words inside my skull at night

But once I wake, I cannot read them

C G

My bloody hands remain a question mark

[Chorus]

Sifting through the hiccups of time

We'll hide in the bones of the city

The engines sing along with their cries

This song, it spells disaster

But it's buried beneath the laughter

[Interlude]

Em Em C C

[Verse]

The words that fall from out their mouths

Can change in your hands and split the skin

So I will keep myself apart

from shining eyes and privileged boredom

The thing that I've learned from unusual blood

Is never touch a person's comfort

The voice of change is often heard

C G

But fear itself has come to visit

[Chorus]

Sifting through the hiccups of time

We'll hide in the bones of the city

The engines sing along with their cries

This song, it spells disaster

But we drown it out with laughter

[Interlude]

G C

[Outro]

And our eyes

They were always pointed at the sky looking for an answer

And our hands

They were stained in black and grey busy solving problems

Em C

And our backs all bear the load of all the things we'll never know until it breaks us

And in the comfort of the Earth we will not wonder what we're worth

No, we will sleep soundly

All along the Road to Nowhere
