Csus2
Step out the front door like a
Dsus4
ghost into the fog,
Where no one
Em7
notices the contrast between
G
white on white.
And
Csus2
in between the moon and you, the
Dsus4
angels get a better view,
Of the
Em7
crumbling difference between
G
wrong and right.
Csus2
I walk in the air, between the rain,
Dsus4
through myself and back again.
Em7
Where? I don’t
G
know.
Csus2
Maria says she’s dying, through the
Dsus4
door I hear her crying.
Em7
Why? I don’t
G
know.
Round
C
here, we
D

Round

Csus2
Maria came from Nashville with a
Dsus4
suitcase in her hand.
She said she’d like to
Em7
meet a boy who looks like
G
Elvis.
And she
Csus2
walks along the edge of where the
Dsus4
ocean meets the land,
Just like she’s
Em7
walking on a wire in a
G
circus.
She
Csus2
parks her car outside of my house and
Dsus4
takes her clothes off.
Em7
Says she’s close to understanding
G
Jesus.
And she
Csus2
knows she’s more than just a little
Dsus4
misunderstood,
She has
Em7
trouble acting normal when she’s
G
nervous.
Round
C
here, we’re
D
carving out our
Em7
names
G
.
Round
C
here, we all
D
look the
Em7
same
G
.
Round
C
here, we talk just like
D
lions, but we
Em7
sacrifice like
G
lambs.
Round
C
here, she’s
D
slipping through my
Em7
hands
G
.

Csus2
She says, “It’s
Dsus4
only in my head.
Em7
G
"
She says, “Shh,
Csus2
I know it’s
D
only in my
Em7
head
G
."
But the
Csus2
girl on the car in the parking lot,
Dsus4
Says, “Man, you should try to take a shot.
Em7
Can’t you see my walls are
G
crumbling?"
Then she
Csus2
looks up at the building, and says she’s
Dsus4
thinking of jumping.
She says she’s
Em7
tired of life, she must be tired of
G
something.
Round
C
here, she’s
D
always on my
Em
mind
G
.
Round
C
here, hey man, we
D
got lots of
Em
time
G
.
Round here, we'
C
re never sent to bed
D
early.
Man,
Em
nobody makes us
G
wait.
Round
C
here we stay up
Em
very, very,
Em
very, very late.
I, I can’t see
C
nothing,
D
nothing round
Em
here
G
.
You catch me if I’m
C
falling, you catch me if I’m
D
falling.
Will you catch me? Cause I’m
Em
falling down on
G
you
I said I’m
Csus2
under the
Dsus4
gun round
Em
here
G
.
Oh man, I said I’m
Csus2
under the gun
Dsus4
round
Em
here
G
.
Well I can’t see
Csus2
nothing,
Dsus4
nothing round
Em
here
G
.
