Intro:
G+G


Verse 1:
   G+G              C majorC
Your eyes tonight are little pins looking for a friend
             G+G
And tell a story locked inside of you
   G+G               C majorC
Your lips provide a different spin, one to be believed
              G+G
If we were strangers on an avenue

Chorus 1:
    D MajorD
You're running ragged in the still
D MajorD
Choking on your high class pill
D MajorD
Staggering through the grist mill
       C majorC              E minorEm
'Cause you're trying to medicate your only spark
         A minorAm C majorC            G+G
Look out for the wind and the breakers in the dark


Verse 2:
  G+G               C majorC
You laugh about the prickly things popping your ballons
                  G+G
Take time for the silly games that make you whole
    G+G                    C majorC
You say them's the breaks and them's the rules, part of the suspense
                 G+G
When you're just a button on a remote control


Chorus 2:
    D MajorD
You're standing tall but walking death
D MajorD
Stronger than a horse's breath
D MajorD
Nothing but the best I tell ya
C majorC                E minorEm
Crying makes you fodder for the sharks
         A minorAm      C majorC
Look out for the fins and the breakers in the dark

Interlude:
E minorEm  G+G  C majorC    A minorAm G+G
E minorEm  G+G  C majorC    A minorAm E minorEm G+G


Chorus 3:
D MajorD
Chewing on your wire cage
    D MajorD
It's a pity someone at your age
   D MajorD
Ain't nothing but a rager
    C majorC                E minorEm
Who got left behind when Noah closed the ark
         A minorAm  C majorC            G+G  B minorBm  C majorC  A minorAm  E minorEm  Em/D#  Dsus4Dsus4
Look out for the bends and the breakers in the dark
D MajorD        G+G  B minorBm  C majorC  A minorAm  E minorEm  Em/D#  Dsus4Dsus4
