Tessellate Chords

[Verse 1]
D                                               D G Em D
All the boys who called their mothers on that day 
     D                                                   D G Em A
Were no tough bunch, but they had the nerves to go and say 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     A                     G
That all your secrets were drowned
         A                 G
With the pioneers who were flooded from this town
     A                      G
They packed their bags only moments too late
         G                                      A
With the pounding waves crashing up against the weakened water gates
 
[Chorus]
D             G     A             D
  'Cause dire times call for dire faces
          G               Em
So lovely dancer call and answer
          D             G
Trade our places in the night
              Em                G
We're running barefoot, you and I
            G                  G                 D
Dead lovers salivate, broken hearts tessellate tonight
 
[Verse 2]
    D                                                          D G Em D
And all the kids who cut their knees on that old schoolyard fence 
     D                                      D G Em A
Were holding out for posterity and self-defense
 
[Pre-Chorus]
   A               G
We beat them down again
        A              G
There's no fun playing cowboys for pretend
   A                    G
We showed them what the backs of our hands are for
      G                                     A
The divide is clear, in the coming year the rich will take the poor
 
[Chorus]
D             G     A             D
  'Cause dire times call for dire faces
          G               Em
So lovely dancer call and answer
          D             G
Trade our places in the night
              Em                G
We're running barefoot, you and I
            G                  G                 D
Dead lovers salivate, broken hearts tessellate tonight
