Verse:
C/GC/G D MajorD
Step out the front door like a ghost
E minorEm
into the fog where no one notices
G+G
the contrast of white on white.
C/GC/G
And in between the moon and you
D MajorD
the angels get a better view
E minorEm G+G
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
C/GC/G
I walk in the air between the rain
D MajorD
through myself and back again
E minorEm G+G
Where? I don't know
C/GC/G
Maria says she's dying
D MajorD
Through the door I hear her crying
E minorEm G+G
Why? I don't know
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Round here we always stand up straight
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Round here something radiates
C/GC/G D MajorD
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/GC/G D MajorD
and she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
E minorEm G+G
like she's walking on a wire in the circus
C/GC/G
She parks her car outside of my house
D MajorD
and, takes her clothes off
E minorEm G+G
She says she's close to understanding Jesus
C/GC/G D MajorD
She knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
E minorEm G+G
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Round here we're carving out our names
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Round here we all look the same
C/GC/G D MajorD
Round here we talk just like lions
E minorEm G+G
but we sacrifice just like lambs
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Round here she's slipping through my hands
A augmentedA C/GC/G D MajorD A augmentedA
Oh, sleeping children better run like the wind,
C/GC/G D MajorD A augmentedA
Out of the lightning dream
C/GC/G D MajorD A augmentedA C/GC/G D MajorD
Mama's little baby better get herself in out of the lightning
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
She says "I know, I know it's only in my head"
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm G+G
She says "Shh, I know, I know it's only in my head"
C/GC/G
But the girl on the car in the parking lot
D MajorD
says "Man you should try to take a shot
E minorEm G+G
can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
C/GC/G
She looks up at the building
D MajorD
and she says "I'm thinking of jumping"
E minorEm
She says "I'm sick and tired of life"
G+G
Everybody's tired of something
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Round here she's always on my mind
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Round here I've got a lot of time
C/GC/G D MajorD
Round here we're never sent to bed early
E minorEm G+G
Yeah man, nobody makes us wait
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
I, I can't see nothing, no nothing around here
C/GC/G
Would you catch me 'cause I'm falling
D MajorD
Would you kiss me 'cause I'm leaving
E minorEm G+G
Would you hold me 'cause I'm lonely without you
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Said I'm under the gun around here
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Said I'm lonely, lonely, lonely without you
C/GC/G D MajorD E minorEm N.C.
I can't see nothing, no nothing, round here
