[Verse]
Dead in the F#sun and covered in gDblue
There is a tBown where nothing mF#oves
Nobody wF#orks and nobody pDblays
And all of their dBreams have melted aF#way
All of their hBopes have come and gF#one
Even the vuBltures have moved oF#n
They say a hBero's coming soDbon
With ivory lF#ungs like hBuge ballooDbns
There ain't no mF#oon and there ain't no sDbtars
Over the lBand of endless sF#cars
Covered in bF#rown and coming uDbndone
We are what wBe will not becF#ome
Only a ruBndown rusty sF#till
Runs through a tBown that has no wF#ill
But they say a hBero's coming sDboon
He's coming to tF#ake a gBiant bDbreath of air
IDbnto his lungs and blow away the sun
[Chorus]
I saw a vF#ulture swarming up above a dDbying crowd
Above the vBillains and the heroes and the dDbown-and-out
To snag the cF#arrion and leeches and to sDbtake their claim
Before the dBarkness has a chance to wash it aDbll away
And if the eF#vening ever comes maybe it'll sDbet things right
'Cause in the dBark even the blind can feel a sDbpeck of light
I'm looking fF#or a sign to show but it don't eDbver come
I'm waiting fBor the dark to fall and wash aDbway the sunF#  
[Interlude]
F# Db B Db B Db F# B Db F# B Db
[Verse]
There ain't no hF#eat and there ain't no liDbght
Only the bBlack hole of our F#eyes
Caught in an oF#vercrowded roDbom
Waiting for its sBet and two mF#oves
But out in the dBistance there's a gF#low
That nobody sBees so nobody kF#nows
Well they say a hBero's coming sDboon
He's coming to tF#ake a gBiant bDbreath of air
IDbnto his lungs and blow away the sun
[Chorus]
I saw a vF#ulture swarming up above a dDbying crowd
Above the vBillains and the heroes and the dDbown-and-out
To snag the cF#arrion and leeches and to stDbake their claim
Before the dBarkness has a chance to wash it aDbll away
'Cause if the eF#vening ever comes maybe it'll sDbet things right
'Cause in the dBark even the blind can feel a sDbpeck of light
I'm looking fF#or a sign to show but it don't eDbver come
I'm waiting fBor the dark to fall and wash aDbway the suF#n

[Verse]

F# Db

Dead in the sun and covered in glue

B F#

There is a town where nothing moves

F# Db

Nobody works and nobody plays

B F#

And all of their dreams have melted away

B F#

All of their hopes have come and gone

B F#

Even the vultures have moved on

B Db

They say a hero's coming soon

F# B Db

With ivory lungs like huge balloons

F# Db

There ain't no moon and there ain't no stars

B F#

Over the land of endless scars

F# Db

Covered in brown and coming undone

B F#

We are what we will not become

B F#

Only a rundown rusty still

B F#

Runs through a town that has no will

B Db

But they say a hero's coming soon

F# B Db

He's coming to take a giant breath of air

Into his lungs and blow away the sun

[Chorus]

F# Db

I saw a vulture swarming up above a dying crowd

B Db

Above the villains and the heroes and the down-and-out

F# Db

To snag the carrion and leeches and to stake their claim

B Db

Before the darkness has a chance to wash it all away

F# Db

And if the evening ever comes maybe it'll set things right

B Db

'Cause in the dark even the blind can feel a speck of light

F# Db

I'm looking for a sign to show but it don't ever come

B Db F#

I'm waiting for the dark to fall and wash away the sun

[Interlude]

F# Db B Db B Db F# B Db F# B Db

[Verse]

F# Db

There ain't no heat and there ain't no light

B F#

Only the black hole of our eyes

F# Db

Caught in an overcrowded room

B F#

Waiting for its set and two moves

B F#

But out in the distance there's a glow

B F#

That nobody sees so nobody knows

B Db

Well they say a hero's coming soon

F# B Db

He's coming to take a giant breath of air

Into his lungs and blow away the sun

[Chorus]

F# Db

I saw a vulture swarming up above a dying crowd

B Db

Above the villains and the heroes and the down-and-out

F# Db

To snag the carrion and leeches and to stake their claim

B Db

Before the darkness has a chance to wash it all away

F# Db

'Cause if the evening ever comes maybe it'll set things right

B Db

'Cause in the dark even the blind can feel a speck of light

F# Db

I'm looking for a sign to show but it don't ever come

B Db F#

I'm waiting for the dark to fall and wash away the sun
