Verse 1
               B
After the earthquake
                          A
Pictures hanging diagonally
                                       B
Drive through crying in a milkshake
                         A
It wasn’t built to last
               B
Up in the front seat
                                       A
You were playing with the station
                                    B
And I was fidgeting with the heat
                              F#m      E/Ab
Looking back to the vibrant days of

Chorus
  A                  B
Racket in the hall
  E                    B
Caution to the breeze
                              F#m                E             B
Say you’ll climb your way out of your wake now
                      F#m
Velvet curtain drawn
  E                     B
Flowers at your feet
                            D                     C#m            B
Say you’ll contemplate how you’re weighed down

Verse 2
                          B
The pulse of the brakelight
                                  A
Is the colour of burning embers
                                      B
If you wake up, will you remember
                            A
The awful things I said at the ?dge of the bed?
                         B
Thrashing lik? a great white (I feel the northern tide)
                                          A
As they rolled you up on a stretcher (Crashing on the pines)
                                           B
And the faint words of Jessica Fletcher (I feel the northern tide)
                                     F#m       E/Ab
Were drowned out by the sound of (Crashing on the pines)

Chorus
A                    B
Racket in the hall
E                      B
Caution to the breeze
                              F#m                E             B
Say you’ll climb your way out of your wake now

Bridge
     A    G#m                                      A
Those..…days, I’d never let you fall apart
               G#m                                         A
But things fade like the scent of a brand new car
                                   G#m
Why would I ever fall in love again
         F#                   F#m           E            B
When every detail is over the guardrail?..

Chorus
                              F#m                    E         B
Say you’ll climb your way out of your wake now
  B                        C#m                    F#m             B
Say you’ll contemplate how you’re weighed down
                         F#m   E  B
Are you awake now?….…..
                         F#m   E  B
Are you awake now?….…...
