[Intro]

F F# C#

F F# C# G#

[Verse 1]

D#m

And now it's night

But I've seen our silhouette fade

And weaken to grey

A# B

We used to be sharp

D#m

Against the light

Our empathy weaponized

Our history bleaching out

A# B

During the day yeah

[Chorus]

C# G#

What you're after, what you're after

F F#

Erasure... Erasure

C# G#

What you're after, what you're after

F F# C# G#

Erasure... Erasure

[Verse 2]

D#m

But we're the weeds

And you need a path now clear for you

C# A#

A single golden tear for you won't fall

B D#m

As if that's all we have to leave

To bleed for the blank you want to fill

C# A#

The haunt you want to kill won't die

Can't you see?

[Chorus]

C# G#

What you're after, what you're after

[Bridge]

F# C# G# F#

Hate so graceless and so cavalier

C# G# F#

We don't just disappear

Shifting shapes you're just an auctioneer

C# G#

But we're still here

[Chorus]

What you're after, what you're after

What you're after, what you're after
