D A
There is a slowness on the throttle
Bm G
A sterility at an end
D A
Painted out of a corner
G A
Breaks to bind the strands
D A
To decide within the barnstorm
Bm G
Or shadows feeding in the lurch
D A
Just survive by a stone's throw
G A D G Bm A G D
The decision wheels at work
D A
Peace be found, if temporary
Bm G
Sirens stir the seeds of regret
D A
Gathered clouds or unleashing
G A
Signs to walk, then place your bet
D A
The squatters on high stations
Bm G
The talkers that hold sway
D A
Verbal backslide rushes out
G A
Like grapeshot fine spray
D
No anchor-drop sanctuary
G
No remedy tends to show
Bm A
No finding it uncovered
G D
Just a wide swing tremolo
D A
Broken down, lessons learned
Bm G
Redeemed on epitaphs
D A
By blindfolded regulars
G A
With countenance to switch back
D A
Echo farewell to midnight
Bm G
To the loneliness of the chase
D A
To the minutes past his red-letter
G A
To Elysian Fields defaced
D
No pangs provide delivery
G
Breaking out of the throes
Bm A
No reverie decided
G D
Just a wide swing tremolo
D
No mercy in pokerface
G
Lend an ear before you go
Bm A
No sentence yet decided
G D
Just a wide swing tremolo
