Tone: [G]
Verse:
When the [G]streetlights come on, [Em]
the pooling light is leveed as[Am]aside
And pressed in twil[C]twilight against our two roo[Em]rooms.
I'll see you ton[Dadd9]tonight.
The pavement is ac[G]aching, cicadas are cry[Em]crying,
the wine-colored [Am]air breathing thoughts through your [C]hair,
breezing to [Em]me, leading me th[Dadd9]there...
Chorus:
[Em]I come al[C]ive as the sha[G]dows par[Dadd9]ade.
[Em]My hot summer bl[C]ood comes in fl[G]oods and in wa[Dadd9]ves.
[Em]Curbside confess[C]ions, no long[G]er afr[Dadd9]aid of what you'll s[Cadd9]ay.
Verse:
[G] [Em] [Am] [C] [Em] [Dadd9]
And I find you, twilit beyond all the cars.
In driveways they sleep, but streetlights will keep watch over me.
They flickers like stars.
And now the secrets carefully kept inside run the streets red,
Our chemicals spread, washing us through, making you mine...
Chorus:
[Em]I come al[C]ive as the sha[G]dows par[Dadd9]ade.
[Em]My hot summer bl[C]ood comes in fl[G]oods and in wa[Dadd9]ves.
[Em]Curbside confess[C]ions, no long[G]er afr[Dadd9]aid of what you'll s[Cadd9]ay.
Verse:
[G] [Em] [Am] [C] [Em] [Dadd9]
Now therea re no words, only the glow in our wires.
And so we will be, you turn slow to me...
Our lips set the sun... -I'll never leave you...-
The hills are on fire... Oh...
Chorus:
[Em]I come al[C]ive as the sha[G]dows par[Dadd9]ade.
[Em]My hot summer bl[C]ood comes in fl[G]oods and in wa[Dadd9]ves.
[Em]Curbside confess[C]ions, no long[G]er afr[Dadd9]aid of what you'll s[Cadd9]ay.
