Lyrics

We (A)talked up all night and still came to (D)no (Bm7)conclusion.

(E)We (A)started a fight that ended in (D)silent (Bm7)confusion.

(E)And (Bm7)as we sat stuck, you could (A)hear the trash truck (D)making its way through the (Esus)neighborhood,

(E)picking (Bm7)up the thrown out,

diff'rent (A)from house to house.

We (D)get to decide what we think (Esus)is no (E)good.

We're (A)sculpted from youth;

the chipping (D)away makes me (Bm7)weary.

(E)And (A)as for the truth,

it seems like we (D)just pick a (Bm7)theory

(E)it's the one (Bm7)that justifies (A)our daily lives (D)backs us with quiver and (E)arrows

to protect (Bm7)openings.

'Cause when the (A)warring begins,

how (D)quickly the wide open (E)narrows.

Into the (A)(E)smallness (D)of our (E)deconstruction of (D)love.

We (A)thought it was (D)changing, but it never was;

(E)it's just the same as it (A)ever was.

(E)A (A)fam'ly of foxes came to my (D)yard and dug (Bm7)in,

(E)so I (A)looked in a book to see what this could (D)possibly (Bm7)mean.

(E)Yeah, 'cause there's (Bm7)fate in the breeze,

(A)signs in the trees and (D)possible tragic (E)events,

when (Bm7)forces collide with the (A)damage strewn wide,

and (D)holes blasted straight through the (E)fence.

Whoa, the (A)sky starts to crash,

(In to the the (D)rain on the roof ness starts to drum (Bm7)of ming,

(E)our and (A)laid out like cash,

de your (D)take on my list tion of short of (Bm7)comings.

(E)And now the (Bm7)show starts to close.

(A)the (D)plot's a predictable (E)showing,

and (Bm7)though it seems grand, we're just (A)one speck of sand and (D)back to the hourglass we're (E)going.

Back to the (A)(E)smallness (D)of our (E)deconstruction of (D)love.

We (A)thought it was (D)changing, but it never was.

(E)We're still in the (A)smallness (D)of our (E)deconstruction of (D)love.

We (A)thought it was (D)changing, but it never was.

(E)Our deconstruction of (D)love.

(E)Our deconstruction of (Dmaj7)love.
