[Verse 1]
    C                                   F
The north wind sinks the fence around a lot full of debris
         C                      F
Near the corner of Memorial and me
      C                             F
Where resurrected brick and drywall lean back into place
          C                          F
There's a terrified reflection of my face

[Pre-Chorus 1]
    C                     G                    C            F
All alone at the gleaming knife display at the army surplus sales
       F                    C           G
As the dusk descends and my inspiration fails

[Chorus 1]
C/E   C/G    C/F  C/E C/D C/F  C/E C/D  Am
Ghost-filled park-as, discount sleeping bags
        G                    C
Peer at me from the crumpled dark

[Verse 2]
C                             F
Inky bruises punched into the sky like bolts of light
         C                          F
And then leak across the body of tonight
      C                                   F
While rain and thunder drop and roll then stop short of a storm
          C                                 F
Leave the air stuck with this waiting to be born

[Pre-Chorus 2]
     C5              C/B          C         F
As I stand before an unresponsive automatic door
          C                        G/B
It's just one more door that won't open for me anymore

[Chorus 2]
C/E  C/G  C/F   C/E    C/D C/F C/E  C/D    Am
Ex - it   light blinks red and then blinks off
        G/B            C
Leaving me to crumpled dark

[Interlude]
C F C F
C F C F

[Bridge]
          Am/F#
There's a billboard by the highway
          F             Fm
That says welcome to, bienvenue
       C/E             C/D              D7
But no sign to tell us where to turn around

[Chorus 3]
        C/E  C/G C/F  C/E C/D  C/F   C/E  C/D  Am
So I'll make my  sha- ky  ex - cla - ma - tion mark
         G/B          C
Peering into crumpled dark
