[Intro] A A D D A A G G A A G G [Verse 1] A After the earthquake G Pictures hanging diagonally A Drive through crying in a milkshake G It wasn’t built to last

[Verse 2] A Up in the front seat G You were playing with the station A And I was fidgeting with the heat D Looking back to the vibrant G Em days of racket in the hall [Chorus] D A Caution to the breeze Em Say you’ll climb your way D A out of your wake now-ow Em Velvet curtain drawn D A Flowers at your feet C Say you’ll contemplate G A how you’re weighed down [Instrumental] Em D A A Em D A A
[Verse 3] A The pulse of the brakelight G is the colour of burning embers A If you wake up, will you remember G The awful things I said at the edge of the bed? [Verse 4] A Thrashing like a great white As they rolled G you up on a stretcher (I feel the northern tide crashing) And the faint words of A Jessica Fletcher (on the pines)

Dmaj7
Those days, I’d never let
Gmaj7
you fall apart
Dmaj7
But things fade like the
Gmaj7
scent of a brand new car
Why would I ever fall in
Dmaj7
love again
E7 Em
When every detail is over
D A
the guardrail?
Em
Say you’ll climb your way
D A
out of your wake now
[Chorus]
A C
Say you’ll contemplate
Em A
how you’re weighed down
[Post-Chorus]
Em D A
Are you awake now?
Em D A
Are you awake now?

Racket in the hall

Caution to the breeze

Velvet curtain drawn

Flowers at your feet
