"Speed The Collapse" (chord tab by nadiacw)
[Verse]
Em
All the way from where we came
B
Built a mansion in a day
Am
Distant lightning, thunder clouds
G
Watched our neighbors' house collapse
B
Looked the other way
Em
And then the storm was overhead
B
All the oceans boiled and rivers bled
Am
We auctioned off our memories
G
In the absence of a breeze
B
Scatter what remains
B
Scatter what remains!
[Chorus]
C
Pushed away, I'm pulled toward
Em
A comedown of revolving doors
D
Every warning we ignored
C
Drifting in from distant shores
[C - Em - D - C]
The wind presents a change of course
A second reckoning of sorts
We were wasted waiting for
A comedown of revolving doors
[Verse]
[Em - B - Am - G - B]
And when the days they follow paths
In another mansion built to last
From our window we could see only possibilities
Down the road and back
But, then the storm returned for more
In a comedown of revolving doors
Auction off our memories
In the absence of a breeze
Scatter what remains
Scatter what remains!
[Chorus]
C
Pushed away, I'm pulled toward
Em
A comedown of revolving doors
D
Every warning we ignored
C
Drifting in from distant shores
[C - Em - D - C]
The wind presents a change of course
A second reckoning of sorts
We were wasted waiting for
A comedown of revolving doors
[Verse]
