Cadd9 D
step out the front door like a ghost
Em7
into the fog where no – one notices
G
the contrast of white on white .

Cadd9
and in in between the moon and you
D
angels get a better view
Em7 G
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right .

Cadd9
i walk in the air between the rain
D
through myself and back again .
Em7 G
where? i don’t know .

Cadd9
maria says she’s dying .
D
through the door i hear her crying?
Em7 G
why? i don’t know

C D Em G
round here we always stand up straight
C D Em G
round here , something radiates .

Cadd9 D
maria came from nashville with a suitcase in her hand
Em7 G
she said she’d like to meet a boy who looks like elvis
Cadd9 D
she walks along the edge where the ocean meets the land
Em7 G
just like she’s walking on a wire in the circus
Cadd9 D
she parks her car outside of my house

takes her clothes off ,
Em7 G
she say’s she’s close to understanding jesus
Cadd9 D
she knows she’s more than just a little misunderstood
Em7 G
she has trouble acting normal when shes nervous

C D Em G
round here we’re carving out our names
C D Em G
round here we all look the same
C D
round here we talk just like lions

Em G
but we sacarifice like lambs
C D Em
round here she’s slipping through my hands

A D G A G
A Am7 D7/A A
A
sleeping children better run like the wind
Am7 D7 A G A
out of the lightning dream
Am7 D7/A A
A
mama’s little baby better get herself in
C D
out of the lightning

Cadd9 D Em7 G
she says , “it’s only in my head . ”
Cadd9 D Em7 G
she says , “shh . . . i know it’s only in my head . ”

Cadd9
but the girl on the street by the parking lot
D
says : “man , you should try to take a shot
Em7 G
can’t you see my walls are crumbling?”

Cadd9
then she looks up at the building
D
say’s she’s thinking of jumping
Em7
she says she’s tired of life;

G
she must be tired of something .

C D Em G
round here she’s always on my mind
C D Em G
round here i got lots of time
C D
round here we’re never sent to bed early
Em G
man , nobody makes us wait
C D Em G
round here we stay up very , very , very , very late .
C D
i can’t see nothin’ , nothin’
Em
around here
G C
you catch me if i’m falling ,
D
you catch me if i’m falling ,
Em
will you catch me cause i’m falling down on you

G Cadd9 D
i said i’m under the gun

Em7 G
around here
Cadd9 D
oh , man i said i’m under the gun
Em7
around here
G Cadd9
and i can’t see nothin’ , nothin’
Em
round here .
