The Last Great Washington State

	  		
verse 1 
D                               A 
Never be sorry for the lack of response 
E 
Your hand on my arm before we were lost 
D                               A 
The horizon just laughed to see us fall off 
E 
Your face in a jar I constantly dropped 
D                               A 
You have him now but I'll have you later 
E 
The phone is a gossip 
E 
The clock is a murderer 
D 
My time is her burden 
A 
Your voice is his slumber 
E 
How long have we been here? 
E                         D     A     E 
I can't quite remember my name 

verse 2 
D                               A 
I had you pegged as one who would throw me 
E 
Away from your shoreline 
E                             
Into the galaxy 
D 
Where moons are a fool 
A                              
Stars climb eternity 
E 
Long after voids 
E 
And handwritten destiny 
D                               A 
Long after voices return from the telephone 
E 
Cut off from color 
E 
Leave everyone you know 
D 
They'll let you down 
A 
I'll let you talk into the sky 
E                                D     A     E 
That he keeps turning off like a light 

verse 3 
D                               A 
Praises fall short from the hands of the choir 
E 
Who all stand in judgment and funerals pyre 
D 
Now that your dead 
A 
They wait for the symphonies 
E 
Conductors retire to the bed of our sympathy 
D                               A 
Losing our minds on yesterday's tragedy 
E 
Are you surprised they're singing in harmony? 
D 
Flooding the hallways 
A 
I notice the exit signs pointing the way out 
E                             D     A     E 
I knew they were on to us all along 

verse 4 
D                               A 
Your suitcase fits well in the room you are living in 
E 
Quick to leave town 
E 
Is it how you imagined it? 
D 
Alone with your ghosts, and the 
A 
question mark protagonist 
E 
Leaving you in deserts in search of answers 
D                               A 
To all of the questions that lead to more questions 
E 
Afraid to stand up or lose your salvation 
D 
Stop and rewind 
A 
They all change the station 
E 
The story hits home to close for their liking 
D                               A 
"Stick to the script where you lovers are dying" 
E 
Bored and annoyed 
E                                  D     A     E 
"You're not even trying to turn us on" 

Verse 5 
D 
And building was on fire 
A 
When I saw you step out 
E 
Afraid of your ghosts, and highly in doubt 
A 
When you knew all along, 
D 
Not even your cloud 
E 
Would ever withstand the song from your mouth 
D 
So they took all your scripts, 
A 
And the rain from your eyes 
E 
They're cashing it in for the next passing ride 
D                               A 
To some other city you made up in your mind 
E 
They missed when you died 
E 
So they're hitting rewind 
D                               A 
What good is living if you can't write your ending? 
E 
You're always in doubt of the truths you're defending 
D                         A 
Seeing yourself in others ideas 
E 
I'll write you from somewhere, 
E 
And call you from later on 
D 
I'll need a good time, 
A 
You'll need a daydream 
E 
Helplessly helpless 
E 
"I am alive, can you hear me?" 
D 
Sleeping in motion 
A                     E 
I love you Washington State 

Refrain 
D 
Sleeping in motion 
A                     E 
I love you Washington State 
D 
Asleep in a motion 
A                     E 
I love you Washington State
