White Lies - Fifty On Our Foreheads: chords

F
On the cusp of vessel 18
A#
A look of terror in our eyes
F                         A#
The moonlight licked the face of danger

Innocence made us like soldiers
Untouchable and golden
The quilt of darkness dotted with our teardrops

Chorus:
F
I know you're sad I'm leaving
A#
So this may hurt a little
F                          A#
But, girl, look from your window late tonight
You think my heart is frozen
While yours is slowly grieving
You'll see the boy you loved start burning in the sky

We were a dozen to the project
With a galaxy of questions
And all we heard was lies about the truth

No choice but be obedient
Like prisoners of war
Caught on the wrong side of morality and youth

Chorus:
We thought about our loved ones
Tallied 50 on our foreheads
With the pen your mother gave me in the spring
The sun beat at the windows
Within an hour James had cracked
Left the ship and died still clinging to the wings
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
Start burning in the sky
