Our words move aimlessly through empty city squares
F          Bb            F                Bb
Collecting into mobs and angry like their prayers
     Am           Dm     C          Bb      Am
They breathe, the air we thought to leave--behind.
F            Bb              F               Bb
This kind of blank adventure happens all the time..

We fought to find our thoughts, the runway walked us through.
F            Bb             F                Bb
The swimsuit portion of the evening canceled due..
   Am         Dm     C      Bb            Am
To rain, the pageant's called again, you'll find
F            Bb              F               Bb
This kind of blank adventure happens all the time..
