Miss Teen Wordpower Lyrics

New Pornographers - Miss Teen Wordpower
Intro F,Bb (palm muted)
Our words move aimlessly through empty city squares
Collecting into mobs and angry like their prayers
They breathe, the air we thought to leave--behind.
This kind of blank adventure happens all the time..
Prechorus/chorus 1
Because nobody knows the wreck of the soul the way you do..the way you do..
We fought to find our thoughts, the runway walked us through.
The swimsuit portion of the evening canceled due..
To rain, the pageant's called again, you'll find
This kind of blank adventure happens all the time..
Prechorus/chorus 2
Because nobody knows the wreck of the soul the way you do..the way you do..
Miss teen wordpower, Miss teen wordpower
Bridge C, G, D, Dsus4
So we float through the streets, breathe city lights, claims of the crown
forgotten (x2)
So we float through the streets, float through the streets...
prechorus/chorus 3
The way you do, the way you do..Miss teen wordpower, Miss teen wordpower
Nobody knows the wreck of the soul the way you do, the way you do..Miss teen
wordpower, Miss teen wordpower
Outro C, G, Bb, F
