Bm        F#7sus4  
A stormy summer
F#7          Bm
Is rolling closer
Bm       G       Em7    F#7sus4  F#7
Lighting up this holy smoker
Bm           F#7sus4  
And if this drinking
F#7              Bm
Could ease the thinking
 B            G       C#m
I'd toast to my home truth
            F#
With this glass

Chorus:
Em   F#m7       Bm       Bm 
Oh, rise, you promises broken
Em       F#m7   Bm       Bm 
Call my lovers by their names
Em    F#m7       Bm
Lost hearts and words
           Bm           C#m9
That are spoken to the wind
F#7
Which blows before the rain.

Little pin-pricks
And how my ears bleed
On the bomb ticks that is my heartbeat
In every life-flash
In every car crash
I hear the silence waiting to fall

Chorus

For all I carry
Are murdered secrets
The price of my blue star-eyed weakness
And so we travel
And we unravel
Towards the place where all loose ends go

Chorus
