[Intro]

G D Bb F

[Verse 1]

F G D

Of all the churning random hearts, under the sun

Bb F G D Bb

Eventually fading into night

F G D Bb

These two are opening now, as we lie

F G D Bb F

I touch you under fuller l-i-g-h-t

G D Bb F

Girl, if you're a seascape, I'm a listing boat, for the thing carries every hope

G D Bb

I invest in a single l-i-e

F G D

The choice is yours to be loved

Bb F G D Bb F

Come away from an emptier b-o-a-t

[Chorus 1]

Bb D

Cause when the dead moon rises again

G F

We've no time to start a protocol to hem us i-n

And when the dog slides, underneath a train

There's no cry, no use to searching for what mutts remain

Throw all consequence aside, in a cheerless pyre, we set alight

[Verse 2]

G D

Of all the intersecting lines in the sand

Bb F G D Bb

I routed a labyrinth to your lap

F G D Bb F

I never used a map sliding off the land on an incidental tide

G D Bb F

And along the way you know, they try, they try

G D

And we got sea legs, and we're off tonight

Bb F

Can I've that to which they've no right?

G D Bb F G D Bb F

You belong to a simpler time, I'm a victim to the impact of these w-o-r-d-s

G D Bb F

And this r-h-y-m-e

[Chorus 2]

Bb D

Cause when the dead moon rises again

G F

We've no time to start a protocol to hem us i-n

Bb D

And when the dog slides, open the door and where’d she go

G F

There's no time, no use to searching for the mutts remains

C G F

Throw consequence aside, in a cheerless pyre, we set alight
