D 
Turn the bars into cars     
Bm 
And wait for the lights to change    
G 
And take shape of people we used to know 
                            D 
'Til they grow less fond of knowing 
                        

And we can ride in the night 
                     Bm 
And discard all the facts on our backs 
                G 
Remembering the thoughts we thought 
                      D 
Since we got over our parents 


And if we go where we go 
               Bm 
And don't tell anyone where we're from 
                         G 
We can cut and paste the stars to our hearts 
                     D 
And understand their language 

  
And we won't spit with our mouths 
                      Bm 
Or draw lines in the dirt with our heels 
                 G 
And every single day we'll just wait 
                         D 
And hope to see the next one 

G                         Em 
If we go down too easy my dear 
                   G                Em                  A 
We'll still be the heart of envy of all our friends and peers 


So I get home to my home 
The thoughts are in my head 
And my bed is full of things I left 
When I left her here 

And the light through the blinds 
And through the windowpane in the lane 
Where the fire is getting cold 
For they have burned all of their belongings 

And up the stairs there's a pair 
Who like to be made sure 
That they were everything they are 
For they are sadly mistaken 

Now I forget how we met 
Those days have all passed 
Now the cast is filing to the stage 
In a rage and taking their places 

G                 Em 
If we go down too easy my dear 
                   G                Em                            A 
We'll still be the heart of envy of all our peers and friends my dear 
Bm               G    Em 
To them we'll be has-beens 
Bm         G     Em 
To them be rouge waves 
Bm          Em  G 
To them be lost trains 
A 
Just posers posing 

Bm             G  Em 
We'll eat with our eyes 
Bm            G   Em 
And weep our goodbyes 
Bm                 Em  G 
And if that's what it takes 
      A (hold)                G 
We'll both drink the Kool-Aid again 

D                    Bm                    G 
'Til we've forgotten where our hearts have been 
D                    Bm                    G 
'Til we've forgotten where our hearts have been  
D                   Bm                    D 
'Til we forget just where our hearts have been
