G Em9
cigarette smoke dances back in the window
Cadd9 Em7 D
and i can see the haze on the dome light .
G Em9
i`m conjuring ghosts on a forty – hour ride home .
Cadd9 Em7 D
and they keep asking me what i`m doing with my life ,
Cadd9 D Em7
while my cousins go to bed with their wives .
Cadd9 D A7sus4
i’m feeling like i’ve fallen behind .

G
well the highway won .
Em9
i`m listening to traffic reports ,
Cadd9 Em7 D
one on one , coming quietly undone .
G Em9
i was born to run away from anything good
Cadd9
an escape artist`s son
Em7 D
with sun – drenched pavement in my blood .
Cadd9 D Em7
the first thing that i do when i walk in
Cadd9 D A7sus4
is plan a way out for when shit gets bad

E d’ C g` E
and i`ve been looking for tears in the screen door .
d` C
( tears in the screen door )
E d` C g` E
i`ve been waiting for another disaster .
d` C
( another disaster )

G – Em9 – Cadd9 – Em7 – D

G Em9
i`m terrified like a kid in the sixties ,
Cadd9 Em7 D
staring at the sky waiting for the bomb to fall .
G Em9
it`s all a lie , what they say about stability .
Cadd9
it scares me sometimes ,
Em7 D A7sus4
the emptiness i see in my eyes .
Em9 Cadd9 D
all the kid`s names ive ever liked are tied to tragedy
A7sus4 Em9 Cadd9 D
and i dont want my children growing up to be anything like me .

Em7 D Cadd9
i`ve been looking for
G Em7
tears in the screen door .
D Cadd9
( tears in the screen door )
Em7 D Cadd9
i`ve been waiting for
G Em7
another disaster
D Cadd9
( another disaster )
Em7 Cadd9 D
but i was kind of hoping you`d stay .
Em7 Cadd9 G
i was kind of hoping you`d stay .

Cadd9 – G – D

Em7
i keep a flashlight
Cadd9 G D
and a small knife in the corner of my bed stand .
Em7 Cadd9
i keep a flashlight and the train times ,
G
but you wouldnt understand .
D
how could you understand?

Em7 Cadd9
jesus christ . i`m twentysix .
G Cadd9
all the people i graduated with
Em7 Cadd9

G Cadd9
all have people who care if they come home at night .
