Verse 1
[A#] [F] [D#]
When I was a kid, I used to think
[Gm]
The moon was following me home
[F] [D#]
But now I drink and dance in the street
[Gm]
I know I've never been more wrong
[A#] [D#]
Now I'm grown, I've come to know
[Gm]
Every girl's out here on her own
[F] [D#]
The faces of God, they never showed
Refrain
[Gm] [A#]
Oh, oh, ooh
[D#]
Oh, oh, ooh
[Gm] [A#] [D#]
Oh, oh, ooh
Verse 2
[A#] [F]
The stars and the gods
[D#]
They’ve come to watch
[Gm]
Me stumbling home in the silver dark
[F] [D#]
I’ve been praying to the constellations
Turns out they were all just satellite
[Gm]
stations
[A#] [D#]
Now I’m grown, I’ve come to know
[Gm]
Every blame and every fault
[F]
So I do what I want
[D#]
I wear those clothes
Refrain
[Gm] [A#]
Oh, oh, ooh
[D#]
Oh, oh, ooh
[Gm] [A#] [D#]
Oh, oh, ooh
Chorus
[Gm]
Can you tell me where it hurts
[A#]
when you feel it kicking in?
[D#]
Grit your teeth, make a scene,
put your keys between fists
[Gm]
It's an 808 heartbeat,
[A#] [D#]
it's a funeral hymn
[Gm]
And if this is my end,
[A#]
then the sky is my witness
[D#]
The night isn't kind,
it's a cruel, cruel mistress
[Gm] [A#]
And any God watching will beg
[D#]
my forgiveness for this
Verse 3
[A#] [F] [D#]
When I was a kid, I used to think
[Gm]
The moon was following me home
[A#]
With shoes in hand
[D#]
I hear the marching band
Playing their song for my untimely end
[D#]
Now I’m grown, I should know
[Gm]
I should know, I should know,
[F]
I should know, I should know
[D#]
I should know
Bridge
[Gm]
There’s humming in the air
[A#]
The street lights are dimming
[D#]
It’s the dark before dawn
When the birds start singing
[Gm]
It’s praying you can make it
[F] [D#]
For just five more minutes
[Gm]
God it’s quiet and it’s violent
[A#]
And it’s everywhere I go
[D#]
It’s the sweat in my palms
When i’m praying to the god
[Gm]
I promise I’ll believe,
[F] [D#]
if you could just get me home
Chorus
[Gm]
Oh, tell me where it hurts
[A#]
when you feel it kicking in
[D#]
Grit your teeth, make a scene,
put your keys between fists
[Gm]
It's an 808 heartbeat,
[A#] [D#]
it's a funeral hymn
[Gm]
And if this is my end,
[A#]
then the sky is my witness
[D#]
The night isn't kind,
it's a cruel, cruel mistress
[Gm] [A#]
And any God watching will beg
[D#]
my forgiveness for this
Outro
