Capo 7th Fret

Intro:
G5 D5 C5


G5
Standing on a bus stop
Feeling your head pop
C5
Out in the night
On the kind of night
G5
Where you want to be out
On the street, on the street
C5
Crawling up the walls
Like a cat in heat

G5
And the air is thin
And it blows through your skin
C5
And you feel like something
Is about to begin
G5
But you don't know what
And you don't know when
C5
So you tear at your hair
And you scratch at your skin

G5
You wanna run away, run away
Just get on the fucking train and leave today
C5
And it doesn't matter where you spend the night
You just might end up somewhere in a fight, in a fight
G5
Or caught in your room on a concrete shelf
Fighting all alone, with yourself, with yourself
C5
And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed
In a wishing well, a wishing well

D5
A wishing well, a wishing well
Well, you're tossed in the air
C5
And you fell and you fell
Through the dark blue waters
D5
Where you cast your spell                     G
Like you were just a wish that could turn out well


G5 C5

G5
So you stand on the corner
Where the angels sit
C5
And you think to yourself,
"This is it, this is it,
G5
This is all that I have
All I can stand
C5
Is this air in my lungs
And this coin in my hand
G5
That you tossed in the air
And I fell, and I fell
C5
All the way to the bottom
Of the well, of the well
G5
Like those soft little secrets
That you tell, that you tell
C5
To yourself, when you think
No one's listening to, well"

G5
And the walls spin
And you're paper-thin
C5
From the haze of the smoke
And the mescaline
G5
The threat of your brow
Under unmade sheets
C5
In your ear with the noise
From the darkest streets
G5
We ran far and wide
You screamed, you cried
C5
You thought suicide was an alibi
G5
But you were always a mess
You were always aloof
C5
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

D5
And she emerged from the dark
Like a ghost in my head
C5
She said, "I haven't forgot
Any words that you said
D5
I just stare at the clocks
And I cry in my sleep
C5
And I tear up your letters
And I burn them in heaps
D5
And I gather the ashes
In that hole in the ground
         G5
Where we fell"
