F C Dm Bb

[Verse 1]
F
  She is running
C                 Dm           C       Bb
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
F            C                       Dm
She is trying but the canyon's ever widening
                 C        Bb
In the depths of her cold heart
       C             F          Bb
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
        C               F
She's another two years older
          Bb
And she's three more steps behind

[Chorus 1]
               F                     C
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
                Dm              C             Bb
Or does anybody even know she's going down today?
                         F
Under the shadow of our steeple
                              C
With all the lost and lonely people
                  Dm                C                Bb
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
               Gm                  Bb
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

[Verse 2]
F                C                Dm
  She is yearning for shelter and affection
      C                 Bb
That she never found at home
F                 C                    Dm
  She is searching for a hero to ride in
        C               Bb
To ride in and save the day
     C                  F
And in walks her prince charming
       Bb
And he knows just what to say
C                  F
Momentary lapse of reason
        Bb
And she gives herself away

[Chorus 1]
                F                    C
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
                Dm              C             Bb
Or does anybody even know she's going down today?
                        F
Under the shadow of our steeple
                             C
With all the lost and lonely people
                  Dm                C                Bb
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
              Gm                   Bb
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

[Chorus 2]
   Dm
If judgment looms under every steeple
  Bb
If lofty glances from lofty people
F
Can't see past her scarlet letter
     C
And we've never even met her

   Dm
If judgment looms under every steeple
  Bb
If lofty glances from lofty people
F
Can't see past her scarlet letter
    C
And we've never even met her

[Chorus 1]
                 F                   C
Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?
                Dm             C              Bb
Or does anybody even know she's going down today?
                        F
Under the shadow of our steeple
                             C
With all the lost and lonely people
                  Dm                C                Bb
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me...

[Chorus 2]
                 F                   C
Does anybody hear her? Does anybody see?
                Dm             C              Bb
Or does anybody even know she's going down today?
                        F
Under the shadow of our steeple
                             C
With all the lost and lonely people
                  Dm                C                Bb
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me

               Gm                  Bb
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?


[Outro]
F                C                   Dm
    He is running a hundred miles an hour
C               Bb
In the wrong direction
