Verse:
C majorC D MajorD
Step out the front door like a ghost
E minorEm G+G
Into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white
C majorC D MajorD
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
E minorEm G+G
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
C majorC D MajorD
I walk in the air, between the rain, through myself and back again
E minorEm G+G
Where? I don't know
C majorC D MajorD
But Maria says she's dying, through the door I hear her crying
E minorEm G+G
I don't know
Chorus:
C5C5 D5D5 E5E5 G5G5
Round here we always stand up straight
C5C5 D5D5 E5E5 G5G5
Round here something radiates
Verse:
C majorC D MajorD
Well, Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
E minorEm G+G
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
C majorC D MajorD
She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
E minorEm G+G
It's like she's walking on a wire in the circus
C majorC D MajorD
She parks her car outside of my house and takes her clothes off
E minorEm G+G
Says she's close to understanding Jesus
C majorC D MajorD
And she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
E minorEm G+G
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
Chorus:
C5C5 D5D5 E5E5 G5G5
Round here we're carving out our names
C5C5 D5D5 E5E5 G5G5
Round here we all look the same
C5C5 D5D5 E5E5 G5G5
Round here we talk just like lions but we sacrifice like lambs
C5C5 D5D5 E5E5 G5G5
Round here she's slipping through my hands
Bridge:
E5E5 D5D5 G5G5 C5C5
Ohhh, sleeping children better run like the wind
E5E5 D5D5 G5G5
Out of the lightning dream
C5C5 E5E5
Mama's little baby better get herself in
D5D5
Out of the lightning
E minorEm
She says, "It's only in my head"
E minorEm
She says, "Shhh, I know it's only in my head"

She says, "Can't you see me, can't you see me
G+G C majorC
Can't you see my walls are tumbling down

E minorEm D MajorD G+G C majorC
As she looks up at the building, she say's, "I'm thinking of jumping"
E minorEm D MajorD G+G C majorC
She says she's tired of life, she must be tired of something
Chorus:
C5C5 D5D5 E5E5 G5G5
Round here she's always on my mind
C5C5 D5D5 E5E5 G5G5
Round here, hey man, we've got lots of time
C5C5 D5D5 E5E5 G5G5
Round here we're never sent to bed early and nobody makes us wait
C5C5 D5D5 E5E5 G5G5
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
C5C5 D5D5 E5E5 G5G5
I can't see nothing, nothing round here
C5C5 D5D5
So catch if I'm falling, catch me if I'm falling
E5E5 G5G5
Catch me 'cause I'm falling down on you
