Csus2 Dsus
Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
Em7 G
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
Csus2 D
And in between the moon and you, the angels get a better view
Em7 G
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
Csus2 Dsus
I walk in the air between the rain, through myself, and back again
Em7 G
Where...I don`t know
Csus2 Dsus
Maria says she`s dying, 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
Csus2 Dsus
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
Csus2 D
She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Em7 G
Just like she`s walking on a wire in the circus
Csus2 Dsus
She parks her car outside my house, takes her clothes off
Em7 G
Says she`s close to understanding Jesus
Csus2 Dsus
She knows she`s more than just a little misunderstood
Em7 G
She has trouble acting normal when she`s 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 Em G
Round here we talk just like lions, but we sacrifice like lambs
C D Em
Round here, she`s slipping through my hands
C/A D/A A G - A
Sleeping children got to run like the wind
C/A D/A A G - A
Out of the lightning dream
C/A D/A A G - A
Mama`s little baby better herself in
C D
Out of the lightning
Csus2 Dsus Em7 - G
She says, It`s only in my head.
Csus2 D Em7 G
She says, Shhh...I know it`s only in my head.
Csus2
But the girl on her car in the parking lot
Dsus
Says, Man, you should try to take a shot,
Em7 G
Can`t you see my walls are crumbling?
Csus2 Dsus
Then she looks up at the building, says she`s thinking of jumping
Em7 G
She says she`s tired of life...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 Em G
Round here, we`re never sent to bed early, nobody makes us wait
C D Em
Round here, we stay up very, very, very, very late
and then some ad libbing:
G - C - D - Em - G - C - D - Em - G - Csus2 - D5
E5 - G - Csus2 - D5 - E5 - G - Csus2 - D5 - E5
