Death Cab for Cutie - Asphalt Meadows: chords

Em
Your kiss was a lonely prayer
D
When you slipped it into my mouth
Cmaj7
I closed my eyes and held it in
Am
Then I exhaled it out
Em
The glow of the downtown lights
D
Casting shadows across your face
Cmaj7
As if all the buildings knew
E
I could only know half of you

And I was a snake under your flowers
I just wanted to disappear
Into the understory of your beauty
Never to reappear
But there's a name writ on your cast
Above the bruised and broken bones
It tells everybody that you meet
To whom the damage is owed

Chorus:
Am
We are a wave of white noise
Fmaj7
Beneath the city sleeping
C
I saw the train doors closing
D
I felt your sorrow deepen
Am
Here in the asphalt meadows
Fmaj7
There's only one thing that grows
C
Finding the life through the concrete
D        Cmaj7
Getting trampled under our feet

You said all your bridges and roads
They all lead to an airport
Planes drifting off into the sky
Always depart, but never seem to arrive
And there in the early hour
Lying naked in your unmade bed
I was thinking of how to tell you
What my ticket read

Em
Your kiss was a lonely prayer
D
A single candle, slowly burning down
Cmaj7
But the light, your light was beautiful
E
Then it's here and now

Chorus:
We rode a wave of white noise
Beneath the city sleeping
I saw the train doors closing
I felt your sorrow deepen
Here in the asphalt meadows
There's only one thing that grows
Finding the light through the concrete
Getting trampled under our feet
We rode a wave of white noise
Beneath the city sleeping
I saw the train doors closing
I felt your sorrow deepen
Here in the asphalt meadows
There's only one thing that grows
Finding the light through the concrete
Getting trampled under our feet
Getting trampled under our feet
Getting trampled under our feet
Getting trampled under our feet
