Verse (with piano)
staring into the intersection she thinks that she can fly and she might
hold it on in a new dirrection she's gonna try it tonight
the closer i get to feeling the further that im feelin from alright
the more i step into the sun the more i step out of the light

Jessica's covered in a blanket on the sunday porch
thinking of weekends she'd party in the city
she doesnt have a brain
she prefers to burn out like a torch
if she gets no where in life at least she knows she pretty

Chorus 
B                C#              F#
hey now the straw dog's out in the street
E    B               C#                     F#
hey now there's chemicals in the clouds*
B                     C#       F#
hey now they're calling all the police
E                   B            intro riff
but they wont get to us anyhow

Verse (piano)
the room is shing down shadow are what's left of all the noise
simple silhoets and cuttouts as if we had a choice
he listens closly now and swears that he can hear a voice that's calling him...


Chorus 
          B                C#              F#
Sayin' hey now the straw dog's out in the street
E    B               C#                     F#
hey now there's chemicals in the clouds*
B                     C#       F#
hey now they're calling all the police
E                   B            intro riff
but they wont get to us anyhow

Bridge (starts with intro riff then piano)
What does it take to be a hero in this world
make no mistake that the villans always get the girl
we can escape then we'd skate away from all of this but no one ever does...

         B                C#              F#
Sayin' hey now the straw dog's out in the street
E    B               C#                     F#
hey now there's chemicals in the clouds*
B                     C#       F#
hey now they're calling all the police
E                   B            intro riff
but they wont get to us anyhow
