Standard Tuning EADGBe


Intro: Am                      Am   F   Em

Verse 1:

Am                           F                        Em
She?s sliding, she?s sliding down to the dregs of the world
Am                                  F                       Em
She?s fighting, she?s fighting the urge to make sand out of pearls


Chorus 1:

C            D        F            Am
Heaven can wait and hell?s too far ago
C            D             F                 E
Somewhere between what you need and what you know
            C           D           F         D         Am
And they?re trying to drive that escalator into the ground....

Verse 2:

Am                              F                         Em
She?s hiding, she?s hiding on a battleship of baggage and bones
Am                                        F                      Em
There?s thunder, there?s lightening in an avalanche of faces you know


Chorus 2:

C            D        F            Am
Heaven can wait and hell?s too far ago
C            D             F                 E
Somewhere between what you need and what you know
            C           D           F         D         Am
And they?re trying to drive that escalator into the ground....


Bridge:

C                                        Am
You left your credentials in a greyhound station
Am     C                   D          F                 E
with a first aid kit and a flashlight going to a desert unknown


Chorus 3:

C            D        F            Am
Heaven can wait and hell?s too far ago
C            D             F                 E
Somewhere between what you need and what you know
            C           D           F         D         Am
And they?re trying to drive that escalator into the ground....
