[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
      C           D                  Em
Round here she's slipping through my hands

A D       A
    Round here
   
                

[Verse 6]
             
Am7                      D7      A        G A
Sleeping children better run like the wind
Am7        D7         A   G A
Out of the lightning dream                           
Am7                       D7     A
Mama's little baby better get herself in
 C          D
Out of the lightning


[Bridge]

Cadd9            D           Em7       G
 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
        C                          D
Round here we're never sent to bed early
       Em              G
Man, nobody makes us wait
     C                D           Em           
round here we stay up very, very, very, very late.


[Verse 9]

G              C          D
I, I can't see nothin', nothin'
         Em  G
Around here
                      C
You catch me if I'm falling,
                     D
You catch me if I'm falling,
                             Em              G
Will you catch me cause I'm falling down on you

            Cadd9        D
I said I'm under the gun

 Em7      G
around here
                   Cadd9        D
Oh, man I said I'm under the gun
        Em7 G
Around here
                Cadd9   D
And I can't see nothin',nothin'
      Em
Round here.
