[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.
