The Archers Bows Have Broken

Am
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
C                 F
Do you believe in anything?
F                                 Em
Or do you carry it around just to burn things down?

Am
Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,
C                   F
where we believe in everything.
F                                      Em
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,
F                                   Em
so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
F                          Em
with our God who we found laying under the back seat.


C
What did you learn tonight?
G                                   Am
 while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
          F                                        C
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
                      G
You are freezing over hell
                         Am
You are bringing on that end you do so well
            F
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

  Am
Oh, order your daughters to ignore me
                          C
think that will sort me?
                       F F Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
and sweep me under the rug?
   F
while you're beating with a book
              Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
everyone that book tells you to love.
Am
  There is an ember in the heart of this kiln
        C                  F F Em7 Em E7 Em Em7
and it's burning hot with love.
F                                                 Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
F                                       Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
then rolling me with care into your cigarette
          F                                  Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.

C
What did you learn tonight?
G                                   Am
 while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
          F                                        C

                      G
You are freezing over hell
                         Am
You are bringing on that end you do so well
            F
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

   Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
C                     F F Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
   Do you believe in anything,
             F                                   Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
or do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground?

Chorus:
C G Am F
C G Am F

C
Feels like,

We could escape this.
    G
And I might,

Throw it away,
   Am                     F
In fear of the silver sun.
C
If you try,
                  G
running a maze of your lies,

Your to hard to save,
   Am
If you've,

Thrown out,
       F
Everyone.
