Verse:
E               Asus2
Roll down your window
E                            Asus2
Your crying's got everything steamed.
E                 Asus2
Roll down your window
F#m11                                B
It's not as desperate as you make it seem
E                     Asus2
You're so young to have seen it
E                                               Asus2
And now your vision is much too old and much too clear
E                                                Asus2
You know I'm friends with that darkness you've been seeing
F#m11                           B
We dated once or twice in earlier years


E                     Asus2
And I know that you’re trying
E                            Asus2
And believe me I know that it's tough
E                                             Asus2
But I've seen you when you're dancing with the children
F#m                       B
Skip ahead to the lighter stuff


Chorus:
      E               Abm            C#m               A
And tonight when they come I'll say they can't see you no more
           E                  Abm        C#m           A
Cause they'll draw out your life through a fine silver straw
             E                Abm         C#m        A     B
And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your do-o-or


Solo  over    [: E      /      Asus 2:]  (x2)


Verse:
       E                     Asus2
And you’re thinking of your family
           E                    Asus2
And you’re thinking it's been much too long
                     E                   Asus2
Because you need some innocence and their order
            F#m11               B
But that medicine is much too strong

              E                    Asus2
And we're holding so tight and we're falling
         E                     Asus2
And the funny thing is both are just the same
          E                         Asus2
You know freedom will find its own amusement
             F#m                   B
And it looks like we've found a waiting game

             E                           Asus2
So you torture yourself for that moment
              E5                         A
When the only thing left is to feel
                E5                                         A
You know romantics may run free in the darkness
                    F#m                           B
But come the light, they're the first to kneel



Chorus:
      E               Abm            C#m               A
And tonight when they come I'll say they can't see you no more
           E                  Abm        C#m           A
Cause they'll draw out your life through a fine silver straw
             E                Abm         C#m        A     B
And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your do-o-or
       E                Abm          #m             A
But the lines we have drawn and the sides we have chosen
             E        Abm            C#m        A
And my own indecision how badly that shows
         E                 Abm                      A         F#m       B
And, God damn, if I was a hero I would have kept our little world clo-o-osed.

End with [: E / A :]
