   [Verse 1]
D                   Bm7              D        Bm7
Maps on the back of your hands point to the cross
D                  Bm7            D        Bm7
Scratches on walls in a room draw out your loss
     D                     Bm7
Your islands are conquered and
        D                  Bm7
You are returned to the throne
D                    Bm7
Martyrs take penance and
                D          Bm7
Fill up the mattress with stones


   [Pre Chorus]
D                     Dsus4
Pull straws with holy men
D                    Dsus4
Stain all the atlas pink
D                  Dsus4
And let us find a beach
D                        G    G6
Where we can cross our hearts

   [Chorus]
G                                  G6
Stand in the wind as the carousels spin
              D        Dsus2
Wear out your welcome again
G                                 G6
Stand on the silence of mountains and
              D        G   G6
Wear out your welcome again

   [Bridge]
D                      A                 G
Mornings hit hard with an uncontrollable light
D                   A               G
Piercing the senses that click deep in the night
D                    A             G
Crouched in a pillow of straw feet on the floor
D                  A                       G
Creeping a path to the mat that holds back the door

Build up great railways that run,Through the horns of the moon
D              Bm7            D          Bm7
Hold up a city with cast iron museum walls

Bring out the skill in your skin polish your hair

Wear out your welcome again

Stand on the silence of mountains and
