Asphalt Meadows

[Intro]
N.C.

[Verse 1]
Em
Your kiss was a lonely prayer
D
When you slipped it into my mouth
Cmaj7
I closed my eyes and held it in
Am
Then I exhaled it out
Em
The glow of the downtown lights
D
Casting shadows across your face
Cmaj7
As if all the buildings knew
E
I could only know half of you

[Verse 2]
Em
And I was a snake under your flowers
D
I just wanted to disappear
Cmaj7
Into the understory of your beauty
Am
Never to reappear
Em
But there’s a name written on your cast
D
Above the bruised and broken bones
Cmaj7
It tells everybody that you need
E
To whom the damage is owеd

[Verse 3]
Em
You set all your bridges in rows
D
They all lead to an airport
Cmaj7
Planes drifting off into the sky
Am
Always depart, but never seem to arrive
Em
And there in the early hour
D
Lying naked in your unmade bed
Cmaj7
I was thinking of how to tell you
E
What my ticket read

[Bridge]
Em
Your kiss was a lonely prayer
D
A single candle, slowly burning down
Cmaj7
But the light, your light was beautiful
E
Then it’s here and now

[Chorus]
Am
We are a wave of whitе noise
Fmaj7
Beneath the city sleeping
C
I saw the train doors closing
D
I felt your sorrow deepen
Am
Here in the asphalt meadows
Fmaj7
There’s only one thing that grows
C
Finding the life through the concrete
D Cmaj7 Am
Getting trampled under our feet
Am
We are a wave of whitе noise
Fmaj7
Beneath the city sleeping
C
I saw the train doors closing
G
I felt your sorrow deepen
Am
Here in the asphalt meadows
Fmaj7
There’s only one thing that grows
C
Finding the life through the concrete
D Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Getting trampled under our feet
D Cmaj7
Getting trampled under our feet
Cmaj7 D
Getting trampled under our feet
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Getting trampled under our feet

[Outro]
D Cmaj7 Cmaj7 E E E E E

Your kiss was a lonely prayer When you slipped it into my mouth I closed my eyes and held it in And then I exhaled it out The glow of the downtown lights Casting shadows across your face As if all the buildings knew I could only know half of you And I was a snake under your flowers I just wanted to disappear Into the understory of your beauty Never to reappear But there's a name writ on your cast Above the bruised and broken bones That tells everybody that you meet To whom the damage is owed We rode a wave of white noise Beneath the city sleeping I saw the train doors closing I felt your sorrow deepen Here in the asphalt meadows There's only one thing that grows Finding the life through the concrete Getting trampled under our feet You said all your bridges and roads They all lead to an airport Planes drifting off into the sky Always depart, but never seem to arrive And there in the early hour Lying naked in your unmade bed I was thinking of how to tell you What my ticket read Your kiss was a lonely prayer A single candle, slowly burning down But the light, your light was beautiful Within its here and now We rode a wave of white noise Beneath the city sleeping I saw the train doors closing I felt your sorrow deepen Here in the asphalt meadows There's only one thing that grows Finding the life through the concrete Getting trampled under our feet We rode a wave of white noise Beneath the city sleeping I saw the train doors closing I felt your sorrow deepen Here in the asphalt meadows There's only one thing that grows Finding the life through the concrete Getting trampled under our feet Getting trampled under our feet Getting trampled under our feet Getting trampled under our feet
