verse 1: 

E                E7sus4             Aadd9        G 
As someone sets light to the first fire of Autumn 
 E             E7sus4 Aadd9            Asus 
 We settle down to cut ourselves apart. 
E            E7sus4        Aadd9        G 
Cough and twitch from the news on your face 
 E               E7sus4 Aadd9            Asus 
And some foreign candle burning in your eyes

verse 2: 

E            E7sus4       Aadd9           G 
 Held to the past, too aware of the pending 
 E                   E7sus4 Aadd9               Asus 
 Chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale 
 E         E7sus4        Aadd9           G 
 Enter the fog another low road descending 
  E               E7sus4 Aadd9                Asus 
 Away from the cold lust, your house and summertime 

Aadd9 

A Em A Blind to the last cursed affair Em A Pistols and countless eyes Em A A trail of white blood betrays C D The reckless route your craft is running A Em A Feed till the sun turns into wood Em A Dousing an ancient torch Em Loiter the whole day through C D A And lose yourself in lines dissecting love
POST-Chorus/PRE-Verse: E, E7sus4, Aadd9, G E, E7sus4, Aadd9, Asus verse 3: E E7sus4 Aadd9 G Your name on my cast and my notes on your stay E E7sus4 Aadd9 Asus Offer me little but doting on a crime E E7sus4 Aadd9 G We've turned every stone and for all our inventions E E7sus4 Aadd9 Asus In matters of love lost, we've no recourse at all Aadd9
A Em A Blind to the last cursed affair Em A Pistols and countless eyes Em A A trail of white blood betrays C D The reckless route your craft is running A Em A Feed till the sun turns into wood Em A Dousing an ancient torch Em Loiter the whole day through and C D Lose yourself in lines dissecting, C D C D Lose yourself in lines dissecting, lose yourself in lines dissecting
End on G
