A augmentedA C# minorC#m BB
Intro:
C# minorC#m BB
Verse 1:
C# minorC#m
Singin' to you in the back of the van
BB
I can't fix it all but I'll hold your hand
C# minorC#m
Until the headlights crack and we drive
head first
BB
For the graves in the yard of this New
Jersey church
C# minorC#m
And the closest I've come to the feeling of knives
BB
Is the pain that I feel from the thorns in your side
C# minorC#m
Because they poke right through your sweater
BB
And rip the fabric that holds our illusions together
Chorus:
A augmentedA BB
And the antidote for all the things
A augmentedA BB
That tear us up from seam to seam
C# minorC#m
Is the space between our eyes
BB
I never would have been here otherwise
A augmentedA BB
And I suppose that with our broken wings
A augmentedA BB
We'll have to learn to use our feet
C# minorC#m BB
And maybe we will find a reason for our lives
A augmentedA BB
Well I guess we'll have to try, won't we?
Interlude:
C# minorC#m BB
Verse 2:
C# minorC#m
Singin' to you in the back of my car
BB
The lights flash red and the door's ajar
C# minorC#m
I could tell you the truth but the truth is much worse
BB
So I'll tell you a lie and you'll never be hurt
C# minorC#m
And the closest I've come to the feeling of fine
BB
Is the joy that I feel from your hands on my side
C# minorC#m
Because they poke right through your sweater
BB
And rip the fabric that holds my delusions together
Chorus:
A augmentedA BB
And the antidote for all the things
A augmentedA BB
That tear us up from seam to seam
C# minorC#m
Is the space between our eyes
BB
I never would have been here otherwise
A augmentedA BB
And I suppose that with our broken wings
A augmentedA BB
We'll have to learn to use our feet
C# minorC#m BB
And maybe we will find a reason for our lives
A augmentedA BB
Well I guess we'll have to try, won't we?
Interlude:
A augmentedA
Bridge:
BB
We'll have to try, won't we?
C# minorC#m BB
You should just let this go, but I can't
C# minorC#m
tell you so
C# minorC#m BB
No I can't and I won't, no I can't and I won't
C# minorC#m BB
You should just let this go, but I can't tell
C# minorC#m
you so
C# minorC#m BB
No I can't and I won't, no I can't and I won't
Chorus:
A augmentedA BB
And the antidote for all the things
A augmentedA BB
That tear us up from seam to seam
C# minorC#m
Is the space between our eyes
BB
I never would have been here otherwise
A augmentedA BB
And I suppose that with our broken wings
A augmentedA BB
We'll have to learn to use our feet
C# minorC#m BB
And maybe we will find a reason for our lives
A augmentedA BB
