Verse 1:
    B minorBm
You're looking for a way out
B minorBm       A augmentedA
I can feel it (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
     E minorEm
Come on, show me where it hurts
   E minorEm       B minorBm
Maybe I can heal it (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
   B minorBm
Your feelings are your own
    B minorBm           A augmentedA
Now you keep 'em under lock and key (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
      E minorEm
You got me drivin' through the streets
    E minorEm           B minorBm
For an answer to the mystery (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)

Chorus:
G+G         D MajorD         A augmentedA
 The world's still weak on Charleston Avenue
G+G       D MajorD         A augmentedA
 Outside that vacant Starlight Motel I see you
G+G          D MajorD
 Laughing with your girlfriends
   A augmentedA            B minorBm   A augmentedA    E minorEm
Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind
     E minorEm    B minorBm
It was a matter of time


Verse 2:
     B minorBm
There's a panic in this house
     B minorBm        A augmentedA
and it's bound to surface (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
   E minorEm
Just walkin' through the front door
E minorEm        B minorBm
makes me nervous (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
   B minorBm
It's creepin' up the floorboards,
B minorBm               A augmentedA
got me wondering where I stand (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
     E minorEm
I cannot put out the fire,
    E minorEm             B minorBm
I got a book of matches in my hand (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)

Chorus:
G+G       D MajorD          A augmentedA
 When we first met, headstrong and filled with doubt
G+G             D MajorD           A augmentedA
 Made just enough hustling tables that summer to take you out, I was...
G+G         D MajorD       A augmentedA         B minorBm
 fallin' back on forever when you told me about your heart
      A augmentedA   G+G         D MajorD   A augmentedA
You laid it on the line (uh-oh oh uh-oh oh)
G+G         D MajorD   A augmentedA
 (Yeah-eh ah yeah-eh ah)
G+G          D MajorD
 Laughing with your girlfriends
   A augmentedA
Not a care in the world
   B minorBm   A augmentedA    E minorEm
Not a burden on your mind (You're hanging on the line!)
E minorEm    G+G   A augmentedA
 It was just a matter
     D MajorD A augmentedA    G+G
It was a matter of time


Bridge:
   G+G        A augmentedA      B minorBm       A augmentedA
We'd find ourselves a place, we belong in this forever
   D MajorD         A augmentedA
Ain't that what it's all about?
     G+G      A augmentedA
Make the promise and keep it
   B minorBm      A augmentedA
Come hell or high water
D MajorD  A augmentedA     G+G
We'd figure it out
      G+G         A augmentedA
It was the night, it was the moon
      B minorBm         A augmentedA
It was the green grass in the garden
  D MajorD        A augmentedA
The victory and the sin
       G+G   A augmentedA
I know you're weary, look at me
B minorBm       A augmentedA
Flailing in the corner
      E minorEm
Here's the towel
  D/F#D/F#     G+G
Go on, throw it in


Chorus:
G+G     D MajorD A augmentedA    G+G
 It was a matter of time
     G+G       A augmentedA     B minorBm  A augmentedA
Can't you see that it's tearing me up inside?
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
Look what's laying at our feet
      G+G      A augmentedA
That's the wreckage of broken dreams
  B minorBm     A augmentedA
And burned out halos
     E minorEm  D/F#D/F#  G+G
And it's here on our street (uh-oh oh oh uh-oh oh oh)


Outro:
B minorBm
