[Verse]
A
The cathedral in Cologne looks like a spaceship
A D A
Like the hand of God falling from the sky
D A
A thousand stone-carved saints hang like icicles
B7 E D A
But icicles don't take a thousand years to die
A
And all of us who worked on this cathedral
D A
Or even spent a moment passing by
D A
All of us are swept away like breadcrumbs
B7
What comfort does it bring
E D A
Soaring towers left behind
D A
Towers left behind
[Verse]
A
Well there's a fiberglass castle in Wisconsin
A D A
Where kids race go-carts around a moat
D A
Once we went up there in December
B7 E D A
When all the waterslides and fudge shops were closed
A
Looking to find love under the ice machine
D A
But all we did was drink in empty bars
D A
Stumbling drunk we crawled back to our hotel rooms
B7 E D A
I fell against you and felt your beating heart
D A
I felt your beating heart
[Verse]
A
Well the snow is slowly falling on the ice machine
A A*
And the moon shone hazy through the pine
D A
Lawn chairs were thrown into an empty pool
B7 E D A
A dog chained to a tree barking at the sky
D A
Towers left behind
