No Capo

Em

You’re looking for a way out

Bm A Em

I can feel it

Em

Come on, show me where it hurts

Bm A Em

Maybe I can heal it

Em

Your feelings are your own

Bm A Em

Now you keep ’em under lock and key

Em

You got me drivin’ through the streets

Bm A Em

For an answer to the mystery

G D A

The world’s still weak on Charleston Avenue

G D A

Outside that vacant Starlight Motel I see you

G D

Laughing with your girlfriends

A D A Em

Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind

Em

It was a matter of time

Em

There’s a panic in this house

Bm A Em

and it’s bound to surface

Em

Just walkin’ through the front door

Bm A Em

makes me nervous

Em

It’s creepin’ up the floorboards,

Bm A Em

got me wondering where I stand

Em

I cannot put out the fire,

Bm A Em

I got a book of matches in my hand

G D A

When we first met, headstrong and filled with doubt

G D A

Made just enough hustling tables that summer to take you out

G D A D

I was fallin’ back on forever when you told me about your heart

A Em

You laid it on the line

G D

Laughing with your girlfriends

A D A G

Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind

(You laid it on the line)

G A D A G

It was just a matter, It was a matter of time

G A

We found ourselves a place

D G

We belong in it forever

D A

Ain’t that what it’s all about?

G A

Make the promise and keep it

D G

Come hell or high water

D A G

We’d figure it out

G A

It was the night, it was the moon

D G

It was the green grass in the garden

G A

The victory and the sin

G A

I know you’re weary, look at me

D G

Flailin’ in the corner

G

Here’s the towel

A G

Go on, throw it in

G D G

It was a matter of time

G D A

Can’t you see that it’s tearing me up inside?

G A

Look what’s laying at our feet

G A

That’s the wreckage of broken dreams

D A

And burned out

G A G

And it’s here on our street
