Basement

[Verso 1]

B 
  I know I promised 
       Em 
if the ground shakes 
That it wouldn't be 
   B 
an earthquake But no 
                    F# 
train has left the station 
                  B 
And no other explanation 
So now you're analyzing 
Em 
fault lines And convincing 
            B 
yourself of past lies 
Should I break our vow 
   F# 
of silence And scream 
               G       Em 
Get out of the basement 


Instrumental

[Verso 2]


B 
  I know I promised we 
      Em 
would never Have to 
               B 
talk about the weather 
Just to fill the air 
   F# 
between us Never dreamed 
              B 
that we would need it 
But the lightning and 
    Em 
the thunder Sometimes 
        B 
make me wonder If I 
should break our vow 
   F# 
of silence And scream 
Get down to the basement 


[Refrão]

 
G 
  I can see the funnel right 
   Em 
outside But I'm too tired 
   B         F# 
to hide Yeah I'm too tired 
   E 
to hide The funnel is 
         B        F# 
right outside But I'm 
             E 
too tired to hide 


[Verso 3]

 
B                     Em 
  I excuse this one exception 
                B 
As emergency protection 
But now we're bored and 
F# 
underground Making 
               B 
noises for the background 
                  Em 
And our only entertainment 
                      B 
Is staring at the foundation 
                       F# 
And wondering if that step 
crack Is something we created

G 
  I can see the funnel right 
   Em 
outside But I'm too tired 
   B         F# 
to hide Yeah I'm too tired 
   E 
to hide The funnel is 
         B        F# 
right outside But I'm 
             E 
too tired to hide
