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 .

through the door i hear her crying?

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

Em7 G
she has trouble acting normal when shes nervous

but the girl on the street by the parking lot
D
says : “man , you should try to take a shot
Em7 G

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

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
