Kevin Devine - All of everything erased

^Dm this is the window where ^A7 i watched the future start ^C my pupils dilated ^Dsus4 the shock sped up my arms ^Bb i shut my ambushed eyes ^C and turned my face towards the ^Fheat

^Dm i felt the city choke ^A7 i heard the world at war ^C i prayed for providence ^Dsus4 god said, ’don’t pray no more ^Bb you went and made your mess ^C now keep your blame off my ^Ffeet’

^Dm so i got off my knees ^A7 i faced the devil’s day ^C the sky was murder red ^Dsus4 the streets were headstone gray ^Bb a flaming ferris wheel ^C spun where the sun used to ^Bbbe

^Bbi watched its buckets ^Cdip and dance ^Bbi saw a couple making ^Clove lock hands they were ^Fpushing for ^Cabandon and the ^Bbmanswers it could b^Fring ^A790 million miles from the ^Bbgraveyard growing ^Cover every^Dmthing

^Dm i saw my lover chased ^A7 through fields of sugarcane ^C she clutched her belly close ^Dsus4 and whispered, "keep us safe" ^Bb they ground her down to dust ^C no more miracles to^Fday

^Dm i dreamt myself awake ^A7 in a resort hotel ^C above a golden coast ^Dsus4 beside my Southern belle ^Bb we heard the sea reborn ^C in each singing ^Fshell

^Dm and every coughing car ^A7 and every coiled snake ^C and every shrieking star ^Dsus4 and every burning stake ^Bb dissolved to atmosphere ^C all of everything, e^Bbrased

^Bbi spread into a ^Cdistant hum ^Bbi droned along with ^Ceveryone and the ^Fearth grew green and ^Cnursed herself to ^Bbmwhat she used to ^Fbe ^A7all our senseless shouting calmed to ^Bbquiet in her ^Cancient memo^Fry ^{C A7}
