[Verse 1]
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 between the moon and you
D
The angels get a better view
Em7 G
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
[Verse 2]
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
[Interlude]
C D Em G
Round here we always stand up straight
C D Em G
Round here, something radiates.
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Cadd9 D
She parks her car outside of my house
takes her clothes off
Em7 G
says 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 she's nervous
[Verse 5]
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 sacrifice like lambs

Round here she's slipping through my hands
A D A
Round here
[Verse 6]

Sleeping children better run like the wind

Out of the lightning dream

Out of the lightning

She says, "It's only in my head."
Cadd9 D Em7 G
She says, "shh...I know it's only in my head."
[Verse 7]
Cadd9
But the girl on the car in 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.
[Verse 8]
C D Em G
Round here she's always on my mind
C D Em G
Round here I got lots of time

Round here we're never sent to bed early

Man, nobody makes us wait

round here we stay up very, very, very, very late.

You catch me if I'm falling,

You catch me if I'm falling,

Will you catch me cause I'm falling down on you
Cadd9 D
I said I'm under the gun

around here

Oh, man I said I'm under the gun

And I can't see nothin',nothin'
