The Awful Sweetness Of Escaping Sweat Chords by Bright Eyes

[Dm] We escape from the house as the day disappears from [Am] the sky and tonight
We became what we wanted to [C] be
_ like [Em] a dream _
_ [Am] _ _ _ Collapse [Dm] _ _
_ out of turn near a house lying still in the [Am] grass
Dump the heat from the ground
rising up to [C] contract _ and [Em] expand
like [Am] a frag _ _ _ _ _
[Em] [Dm] We leave from that place soak the sweat and the poison we [Am] drank
Fill the bathtub with ice hope this fever will [C] break
_ like a [Em] heart _ _
[Am] easily
_ But _ _ _
[Em] [F] I do not recall all [G] the words that were formed on [Am] those wireless
as they greeted me
_ [F] Promise was made without [G] thought as the [Am] temperature climbed
_ And _ _ [F] I started to sink [G] like the moon tends to do
[C] If [Em] you're scared [A] that [B] it's [F] all lost
Then [G] you blink and [Am] it's gone _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ Fall to [Em] our sleep _
[Am] with the dawn
_ [A] _ _ _
[B] we [Dm] felt like home
_ _ _ And isn't it the same mistake?
[Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ And isn't it the same [A] mistake?
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ And isn't it the same mistake?
So [F#] much of it escaped
Isn't _ _ _ _ _ this the world?
_ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] [Dm] We awaken life feeling hollow and selfishly [Am] worn
Close the blinds and retreat till what's [C] burning is gone
And [Em] it's light _ [A] is away
[Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] Back in the dark chasing nothing through backyards [Am] and trees
You ripped your shirt on a fence but it didn't get [C] mean
_ That [Em] it's fear _ makes you [Am] slow _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ Creatures look, look at their shadows cut lines through [Am] my face
And the concrete is fire where my bare feet [C] are placed
In [Em] a line _ next to [Am] yours
And _ _
_ [F] I guess I'm not sure [G] if it's fear that was born
[Am] As those awful eyes that they'll claim on us
I put [F] my hands on the fence at [G] your name and I started to [Am] climb _ _ _ _
And [Dm] it must have been sweat [G] but I drank it like wine
[C] It was sweet, [Em] my [B] [Gm] mouth was [F] dry
I [G] would just scream but I made [A] no reply
_ _ _ _ _ [C]
Still, [Em] I'd be dazed now if [N] I tried
