[Verse 1]
E
Cover your eyes, surprise your fate
C
It's only an avalanche away you're safe
Dsus2
It's only a scratch, you're great
E
Several years after the flood
C
You're singularity under the gun
Dsus2
So late, so late to the game, so late
E C Dsus2
We thought it was wise to wait
[Chorus]
E
Sent your blues from the last world

News from the future

Blues from the last world

News from the future
[Verse 2]
E
Several miles behind the wave
C
We needed to cross the ocean, we missed the ride
Dsus2
Lord knows we could use a ride
E
You summon the breath to finally say
C
It's only an avalanche away feels right
Dsus2
And you can stay here tonight
E C Dsus2
Yeah, you can stay here tonight

Better angels form, the cottage industry
Dsus2 E
The testimonials warning weather
C
Rules of the house
C
Are all graffiti scrolled
Dsus2 E
Ceremony calls, the tarred and feathered
C
Jewels in your crown
C
Are loud and proud and fake
C Dsus2 E C Dsus2
Ceremony calls, the overthrowing
[Verse 3]
E C
Consigned to the dustbins, all good lines thrown away
Dsus2
Defined by the daylight waves we found in Avalanche Alley
E C
Controlled demolitions of the times far away
Dsus2 E C Dsus2
In line for the festival that we call Avalanche Alley
