[Intro]
| A   D6/A | Dadd9/F# A/E | Dsus2/B  | Esus4  E  |

[Verse 1]
    A                        A/C#        D       Bm7   Esus4 E
We talked up all night and still came to no conclusion
    A                     A/C#    D          Bm7   Esus4 E
We started a fight that ended in silent confusion
    Bm7                        A/C#       
And as we sat stuck you could hear the trash truck
  D                           Esus4  E
Making its way through the neighborhood
        Bm7                          A/C#
Picking up the thrown out different from house to house
    D                             Esus4  E
We get to decide what we think is no good

[Verse 2]
        A                       A/C#      D            Bm7   Esus4 E
We're sculpted from youth, the chipping away makes me weary
    A                    A/C#          D            Bm7   Esus4 E
And as for the truth it seems like we just pick a theory
    Bm7                A/C#       
The one that justifies our daily lives
     D                        Esus4  E
And backs us with quiver and arrows
       Bm7                         A/C#
To protect openings cause when the warring begins
      D                    Esus4  E
How quickly the wide open narrows

[Chorus]
          A   A/C# D              E/G#  E     Asus4  A
Into the smallness of our deconstruction of love
                    D                     E
We thought it was changing, but it never was
                          A     D6/A  Dadd9/F#  A/E  Dsus2/B    Esus4  E  (like intro)
It's just the same as it ever was

[Verse 3]
   A               A/C#       D           Bm7   Esus4 E
A family of foxes came to my yard and dug in
      A                      A/C#             D        Bm7   Esus4 E
So I looked in a book to see what this could possibly mean
                   Bm7                 A/C#       
Yeah, 'cos there's fate in the breeze, signs in the trees,
     D                Esus4  E
and possible tragic events
       Bm7                     A/C#
when forces collide, with the damage strewn wide
     D                                 Esus4  E
and holes blasted straight through the fence.

[Verse 4]
        A                       A/C#         D              Bm7   Esus4 E
Oh the sky starts to crash, the rain on the roof starts to drumming
                      (into the small     -     ness of)                (our)
     A                       A/C#        D            Bm7   Esus4 E
and laid out like cash, your take on my list of shortcomings
                      (de - con - struc - tion of)
    Bm7                              A/C#       
and now the show starts to close, I know how this goes
     D                   Esus4  E
the plot a predicatable showing
      Bm7                             A/C#
and though it seems grand, we're just one speck of sand
     D                          Esus4  E
and back to the hourglass we're going

[Chorus]
              A     A/C# D              E/G#  E     Asus4  A
Back to the small - ness of our deconstruction of love
                (into the smallness of our deconstruction)
                    D                     E
We thought it was changing, but it never was
             (of love)
                     A     A/C# D              E/G#  E    Asus4  A
We're still in the small - ness of our deconstruction of love
                       (into the smallness of our deconstruction)
N.C.                D                     E
We thought it was changing, but it never was
            E/G#  E    Asus4 A  E/A   D/A   A   D   Esus4   E
our deconstruction of love
            E/G#  E    Asus4  A E/A   D/A   A   D   Esus4   E
our deconstruction of love
