Verse 1:       
             Cm
There's a graceful dance above me.
          Ab
From the sun reflecting in.
         Fm
Off the cars that pass below.
                 Bb
Each with their own story within.
          Cm
And the dance moves
                        Ab 
They remind me of the times that I've walked in
      Fm
To a room and left with nothing
            Bb
Except the fear to walk back in.
              Cm
So I'll stay safe at my vantage.
       Ab 
On occasion I'll peer in.
            Fm                          Bb
You'll grow up out of the corner of my eyes
Right next to him.
             Cm    
You'll need help, you'll need attention.
            Ab
You're a captivate whim.
            Fm
But I'm a coward prone to quitting.
             Bb
I just make sure never to begin.

Chorus:
     Cm                   Ab
The gunpowder between my teeth
                   Eb         Bb
Lets me know that I've come clean
              Cm             Ab
It should be easy to say goodbye
          Gm        Eb        Bb
Since you won't be looking at me.

Verse 2:
I can see you through a window
But the cracks keep you a blur.
There's a victim in this story
I wish to god that is was her.
While I know I've your recognition
It's of its nature I'm not sure.
If I could ever push this question
I'd shut my ears for the answer.
So I'll stay safe at my vantage. 
On occasion I'll peer in.
You'll grow up out of the corner of my eyes
Right next to him.
You'll need help, you'll need attention.
You're a captivate whim.
But I'm a coward prone to quitting.
I just make sure never to begin.

Chorus:
The gunpowder between my teeth
Lets me know that I've come clean
It should be easy to say goodbye
Since you won't be looking at me.

Letting you go is scary, because sadly it doesn't hurt,
Ab           Gm                      Fm                Gm
Letting you know I'm weary, because I'm not sure it'll hurt.

Chorus (2x):
The gunpowder between my teeth
Lets me know that I've come clean
It should be easy to say goodbye
Since you won't be looking at me.
