F# Db
Dead in the sun and covered in glue
B F#
There is a town where nothing moves
F# Db
Nobody works and nobody plays
B F#
And all of their dreams have melted away
B F#
All of their hopes have come and gone
B F#
Even the vultures have moved on
B Db
They say a hero's coming soon
F# B Db
With ivory lungs like huge balloons
F# Db
There ain't no moon and there ain't no stars
B F#
Over the land of endless scars
F# Db
Covered in brown and coming undone
B F#
We are what we will not become
B F#
Only a rundown rusty still
B F#
Runs through a town that has no will
B Db
But they say a hero's coming soon
F# B Db
He's coming to take a giant breath of air
Db
Into his lungs and blow away the sun
[Chorus]
F# Db
I saw a vulture swarming up above a dying crowd
B Db
Above the villains and the heroes and the down-and-out
F# Db
To snag the carrion and leeches and to stake their claim
B Db
Before the darkness has a chance to wash it all away
F# Db
And if the evening ever comes maybe it'll set things right
B Db
'Cause in the dark even the blind can feel a speck of light
F# Db
I'm looking for a sign to show but it don't ever come
B Db F#
I'm waiting for the dark to fall and wash away the sun
[Interlude]
F# Db B Db B Db F# B Db F# B Db
[Verse]
F# Db
There ain't no heat and there ain't no light
B F#
Only the black hole of our eyes
F# Db
Caught in an overcrowded room
B F#
Waiting for its set and two moves
B F#
But out in the distance there's a glow
B F#
That nobody sees so nobody knows
B Db
Well they say a hero's coming soon
F# B Db
He's coming to take a giant breath of air
Db
Into his lungs and blow away the sun
[Chorus]
F# Db
I saw a vulture swarming up above a dying crowd
B Db
Above the villains and the heroes and the down-and-out
F# Db
To snag the carrion and leeches and to stake their claim
B Db
Before the darkness has a chance to wash it all away
F# Db
'Cause if the evening ever comes maybe it'll set things right
B Db
'Cause in the dark even the blind can feel a speck of light
F# Db
I'm looking for a sign to show but it don't ever come
B Db F#
I'm waiting for the dark to fall and wash away the sun
