Hot Gates

C

[Verse 1]
C
there is no great thing to stop and sing, waiting for the rain
                                                          F    Am    G
and this perfect pill, it’s all too much on the edge again
               F    Am    G
don’t look away

C
  couldn't help but note a cold disdain in your precious face

why do you always speak when you have no grace in your precious face

[Chorus 1]
F          Am              G                        F
but even in the dark, I saw you were the only one alone
               Am                  G                                                F
At these hot gates you spit your vitriol though you swore you wouldn’t do this anymore
              Am              G
And I can't be for you, all of the things that you want me to.
     F                Am                  G
but I will love you constantly there's precious little else to me
      Am      G           C
and though we cry we must stay alive

Am  G   C

C   G

[Verse 2]
          C
another fragile edge and a tender sound and then you went aground
       C
Near a duller blade a promise out of sight there’s nothing here for you tonight

[Chorus 2]
F          Am              G                        F
but even in the dark, I saw you were the only one alone
               Am                  G                                                F
At these hot gates you spit your vitriol though you swore you wouldn’t do this anymore
              Am              G
And I can't be for you, all of the things that you want me to.
     F                Am                  G
but I will love you constantly there's precious little else to me

[Bridge]
    Am       G           C
and though we cry we must stay alive
       Am             G           C
let my blood only run out when my world decides
         Am     G           C
there is no way out of your only life
       Am      G
so run on, run on

[Solo]
F        Am            G
F        Am            G
F        Am            G
F        Am            G

[Ending]
 Am           G           C
 Am           G           C
