[Verse]
C F
And I've been getting urges late at night
C F
To walk and walk for days and throughout lights
C F
Through people's houses, picking food from plates
C F
Through people's gardens, picking locks on gates
[Chorus]
F Am G F
So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
F Am G F
While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry
F Am G Dm
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind
C F C
I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
[Verse]
C F
And I've been leaving gifts out in the woods
C F
That someone might stumble upon and wonder at their origins
C F
I've been feeling like a fox with sad old eyes
C F
The skulkers all moved on to leave the dark and empty den behind
[Chorus]
F Am G F
So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
F Am G F
While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry
F Am G Dm
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind
C F C
I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G C
I'll anull these little walls of attrition and these invocations
Am G
That's seen me holding my camera out at arms length
C Dm
To self-document these new locations
F
When I should be leaning against you
Am G
Deciding on things to get done
F
And you should be leaning on fountains
Am G Dm F
And filling my space up and breathing the air from my lungs
C F
Na na na na
[Outro]
F Am G F
So we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
F Am G F
While seas drown sailors, we'll be locked up safe and dry
F Am G F
And we are moving to a lighthouse, you and I
F Am G F
Our beams will burn the clouds to beacons in the sky
F Am G Dm
And though our doors may knock and rattle in the wind
Dm
The wind...
C F C
I'll just hold you tight and we'll not let those fuckers in
C F
And I've been getting urges late at night
C F
To walk and walk for days and throughout lights
C F
Through people's houses, picking food from plates
C F
Through people's gardens, picking locks on gates
[Chorus]
