Capo 7th Fret

Intro:
G D C


G
Standing on a bus stop
Feeling your head pop
C
Out in the night
On the kind of night
G
Where you want to be out
On the street, on the street
C
Crawling up the walls
Like a cat in heat

G
And the air is thin
And it blows through your skin
C
And you feel like something
Is about to begin
G
But you don't know what
And you don't know when
C
So you tear at your hair
And you scratch at your skin

G
You wanna run away, run away
Just get on the fucking train and leave today
C
And it doesn't matter where you spend the night
You just might end up somewhere in a fight, in a fight
G
Or caught in your room on a concrete shelf
Fighting all alone, with yourself, with yourself
C
And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed
In a wishing well, a wishing well

D
A wishing well, a wishing well
Well, you're tossed in the air
C
And you fell and you fell
Through the dark blue waters
D
Where you cast your spell                     G
Like you were just a wish that could turn out well


G C

G
So you stand on the corner
Where the angels sit
C
And you think to yourself,
"This is it, this is it,
G
This is all that I have
All I can stand
C
Is this air in my lungs
And this coin in my hand
G
That you tossed in the air
And I fell, and I fell
C
All the way to the bottom
Of the well, of the well
G
Like those soft little secrets
That you tell, that you tell
C
To yourself, when you think
No one's listening to, well"

G
And the walls spin
And you're paper-thin
C
From the haze of the smoke
And the mescaline
G
The threat of your brow
Under unmade sheets
C
In your ear with the noise
From the darkest streets
G
We ran far and wide
You screamed, you cried
C
You thought suicide was an alibi
G
But you were always a mess
You were always aloof
C
Yeah, it's awful, I guess
But it's the awful truth
G;
It was truth from the first
To the last words that she read

D
And she emerged from the dark
Like a ghost in my head
C
She said, "I haven't forgot
Any words that you said
D
I just stare at the clocks
And I cry in my sleep
C
And I tear up your letters
And I burn them in heaps
D
And I gather the ashes
In that hole in the ground
         G
Where we fell"
