A5
Goodbye circus wheel
F5
May you rest along the sea
C5
I have given you the fire of my youth
G5
And the triumph o're my enemies
A5 F5
Goodbye fair weather home, and your faithless factories
C5
I have given you the blood and the truth
G5
from the wounds they laid onto me
A5 G5 F5
And whatever they left, well, I kept it for my own heart
Chorus:
C5
And the lonesome all understand
G5
With the choirs in my head
A5
And we were orphans before
F5
We were ever the sons of regret
My baby
C5
And on and on and on
G5
the alphabet boys carry on
A5
We were orphans before
F5 C5
We were ever the sons of these songs Hey!

A5
And now my lights, they never go down
F5
they waltz the moon and stars for me now
C5
So you can find some local libertine
G5
to take your daughters out on the town
A5
And I can feel it in my aging bones
F5
How the sound of the rain mixes up
C5 G5
into the fountains where I drank my hero's blood
A5
G5 F5
So I left you to find my very own hat full of rain
Chorus
Now I'm trying to keep it straight | BRIDGE
Learning all the streets and the alleyways |I dont know how to explain
And learning where they lead |In the video you can see it
Now that I'm left alone here to drive |well
But it's so hard to stand on your own |Mute your strings
Against mirror of glass, hard and cold |
But the clothes I wore |
Just don't fit my soul anymore |
A5
No the clothes I wore
G5 F5
Just don't fit my soul anymore
Chorus
C5
When we were young
G5
We were diamond Sinatras
A5 F5
Like something I saw in a dream
C5
We kept our secrets in rooms
G5
locked up tight like a tomb
A5 F5 C5
Where the ballerinas lay
