[Intro] N.C. N.C. [Verse] Em Your kiss was a lonely prayer D When you slipped it into my mouth Cmaj7 I closed my eyes and Held it in Am Then I exhaled it out Em The glow of the downtown lights D Casting shadows across your face Cmaj7 As if all the buildings knew E I could only know Half of you [Verse] Em And I was a snake Under your flowers D I just wanted to disappear Cmaj7 Into the understory of your beauty Am Never to reappear Em But there's a name Written on your cast D Above the bruised and Broken bones Cmaj7 It tells everybody that you need E To whom the damage is owеd [Chorus] Am We are a wave of whitе noise Fmaj7 Beneath the city sleeping C I saw the train doors closing D I felt your sorrow deepen Am Here in the asphalt meadows Fmaj7 There's only one thing that grows C Finding the life through the concrete D Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Getting trampled under our feet [Verse] Em You set all your bridges in rows D They all lead to an airport Cmaj7 Planes drifting off into the sky Am Always depart, but Never seem to arrive Em And there in the early hour D Lying naked in your unmade bed Cmaj7 I was thinking of How to tell you E What my ticket read [Bridge] Em Your kiss was a lonely prayer D A single candle, Slowly burning down Cmaj7 But the light, Your light was beautiful E Then it's here and now [Chorus] Am We are a wave of whitе noise Fmaj7 Beneath the city sleeping C I saw the train doors closing D I felt your sorrow deepen Am Here in the asphalt meadows Fmaj7 There's only one thing that grows C Finding the life Through the concrete D Cmaj7 Am Getting trampled under our feet Am We are a wave of whitе noise Fmaj7 Beneath the city sleeping C I saw the train doors closing G I felt your sorrow deepen Am Here in the asphalt meadows Fmaj7 There's only one thing that grows C Finding the life Through the concrete D Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Getting trampled under our feet D Cmaj7 Getting trampled under our feet Cmaj7 D Getting trampled under our feet Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Getting trampled under our feet [Outro] D Cmaj7 Cmaj7 E E E E E
