D MajorD Asus4Asus4 E minor 7Em7 G+G x2
D MajorD Asus4Asus4
Piles and piles of old magazines
E minor 7Em7 G+G
Windows locked up and hidden from the street.
D MajorD Asus4Asus4
In a crawlspace, forgotten money.
E minor 7Em7 G+G
People tensing and waiting to come back home.
D MajorD Asus4Asus4 E minor 7Em7
You can feel the tension in the house
G+G D MajorD Asus4Asus4
the moment you walk through the door.
E minor 7Em7 G+G
Sudden madness allow me in again.
D MajorD Asus4Asus4 E minor 7Em7 G6G6
When the first train flies past the house, miles away
D MajorD Asus4Asus4
the screaming starts and it feels like a minefield,
E minor 7Em7 G+G
the neighbors silently hiding in the shadows.
D MajorD Asus4Asus4
There's a person locked in, behind that door -
E minor 7Em7 G+G
Don't let anybody catch you turning the handle.
D MajorD Asus4Asus4 E minor 7Em7 G+G
It's a long, long night. It's going to be an awful and lonely night.
D MajorD D/Db
Well...you can blot out the years and abandon the jungle
E7E7 G+G
Cover up the tapes and refuse to look back,
D MajorD Asus4Asus4 E minor 7Em7 G+G
but your own right hand is not gonna save your soul.
D MajorD D/Db
You have been followed! Ah, the mechanics.
E7E7 G+G
All the reactions that seem to attach themselves.
D MajorD Asus4Asus4 E minor 7Em7 G+G
It's been a very very very long year and it's gonna be an even longer night.
D MajorD Asus4Asus4
And then a screen door slams; the windows break.
E minor 7Em7 G+G
A augmentedA woman just jumps and scrapes at the hood of a car.
D MajorD Asus4Asus4 E minor 7Em7 G+G
When the car backs up into a streetlight, all of the neighbors call the cops.
D MajorD Asus4Asus4
She falls off and the car speeds away
E minor 7Em7 G+G
Headed for the border of a far away state.
D MajorD Asus4Asus4 E minor 7Em7
It's gonna mean an hour of freedom with the radio and quarter-filled gas tank.
G+G
And a quarter filled gas tank
D MajorD
With the high beams on
Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
And the windows down...
