Introduction:
E
Somewhere there?s a country you remember from your youth
E
On the surface of this country is the one they built on top of it.
A9
The Highway leads to everything,
E
Except for what they buried underneath it.
A9
There is a country made of telegrams and tailcoats,
E
and nobody to grieve it.
E
But when the sun is getting lower then the highway marks the graves,
E A9
And the tail-lights, they circle like the roses of an infinite bouquet,
E A9
And everybody leaves tail-lights for the grey,
E
Ghosts of railways and candleholders.
A9 E
And oh oh oh oh oooooo, ooooo ooooo ooooo ooooo,
A9
There?s been an accident a mile away from here,
E
I heard the sound of sirens,
A9
And they turned back again and as they disappeared,
E
I saw a trail behind them.
F#m C#m F#m
You say the wind is up, it?s out collecting lives,
F#m C#m F#m
You say the wind is up, it?s out collecting lives,
A B
An exit night,
E
Is coming through,
E
Oh the wind is up, it?s moving like no wind I?ve ever known,
E
And the page that I was reading was the first that had to go,
A9 E
But still I kept on reading like the dead who have a memory of living,
A9
Because the wind is here to take the thing,
E
I don?t think I am ready to be giving,
A9
And Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thy Juliette?
A9
She flew up with the table out the window,
E
Now she?s mixing with the dead.
A9
Oh won?t you make her go away I am not ready for her yet,
Add9 E
F#m C#m F#m
And now the wind is up, it?s out collecting lives,
F#m C#m F#m
You say the wind is up, it?s out collecting lives,
A9 B E
An exit night is coming true,
A9 E
An exit night, is coming through,
A9 E
Exit night, has come for you,
F#m
Oh exit light,
B
exit moon,
F#m B
Tell me why
E
Why so soon?
A9 E
I don?t know.
A9 E
I don?t know.
A9
Oooooo ooooo.
E
Ooooo ooooo.
(Fingerpicked outro)
E
And o,
E
Tomorrow,
The day,
C#m
Would be,
F#m B E
I will read to your memory,
E
Fly away,
A9
There?s no need
E
To worry,
C#m F#m B E
I will read, into your memory,
E
Leave your brain.
