Verse 1:
  FLet's call this the quiet Dmcity
Where screams are felt

Drive through the sCtreets as

your trees that fall)
Verse 2:
  FA silent dance that we 
Dmdid into this hospital Bbbed
Hear voices from another Dmroom
"It happens all the Ftime"

Drain the blood 
from this valenFtine!Bb  
"We can Dmrise on the

See blue sDmkies getting caught 
in the trail of all this sFmokeBb  
We can Dmrise like candles in

Intro: Drumbeats

Verse 1:

F Dm

Let's call this the quiet city

Where screams are felt

as a wave of stoplights

Drive through the streets as

gunshots punctuate the night

The sides we take divide

us from our faith

And the morning dove gets

caught in the telephone wire

F Dm

Asleep you set the fire

Bb C Dm F

in your own house

And the night was

Dm Bb

a knife that cut

And I'm para--

Chorus 1:

--lyzed

Bb Dm

Cross out the eyes

Bb Dm

Blur all the lines

Bb C

Tearing this canvas

from the wall

Bb Dm

We crossed out the eyes

Bb Dm

Put lines through these cries

Bb C

We pulled all the leaves

from the trees that fall

(your trees that fall

your trees that fall

your trees that fall)

Verse 2:

A silent dance that we

Dm Bb

did into this hospital bed

Hear voices from another room

"It happens all the time"

but you leave in the sand

the leaves fallen

counting down days to live

Drain the blood

F Bb

from this valentine!

"We can rise on the

wings of the dove

See blue skies getting caught

F Bb

in the trail of all this smoke

We can rise like candles in

the dark-yours always"

and an envelope marked with

your new address

F Dm

Asleep you set the fire

Bb C Dm F

in your own house

And the night was

Dm Bb

a knife that cut

And I'm para--

Chorus 2:

--lyzed

Bb Dm

Cross out the eyes

Bb Dm

Blur all the lines

Bb C

Tearing this canvas

from the wall

Bb Dm

We crossed out the eyes

Bb Dm

Put lines through these cries

Bb C

We pulled all the leaves

from the trees that fall

Bridge:

(Cross out the eyes!)

(Blur all the lines!)

(Cries!)

(Repeat)

(hold)

Interlude:

your cries!!

Verse 3:

It was the first

time face to face

I'm crossing the line

Talking to the other

side of death

Hearing the words that choke

memories into flatlines

I'm calling your name

hoping for something

to wash these dreams

of you away

Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb C--

(till we die!)

Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb C--

(memories in flatlines!)

Chorus 3:

Dm Bb Dm

Cross out the eyes when

Bb Dm Bb C

you said all these lies

Dm Bb Dm

Cross out the eyes when

Bb Dm Bb C Gm

you said all these lies

Outro:

Fence was blown down in a

winter storm and this field

(cross out the eyes!)

Stretches out of this

world into the sound

( trace of!)

What can we do put a stop to

the coming white days

(In a love song!)

I'm hoping for something to wash

(hold)

these dreams of you away

(Stretches out of this world

Lets drive back the dead

Stretches out of this world

Stretches out of this world)
