(You get the gist)

[Verse]
C                              D
Step out the front door like a ghost
                          Em                      G
Into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white
    C                               D
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
       Em                           G
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right

       C                             D
I walk in the air, between the rain, through myself and back again
     Em             G
Where? I don't know
       C                                D
But Maria says she's dying, through the door I hear her crying
        Em   G
I don't know

[Chorus]
          C5  D5                      E5 G5
Round here we always stand up straight
        C5 D5            E5   G5
Round here something radiates

[Verse]
         C                                 D
Well, Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
               Em                                G
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
    C                                 D
She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
                Em                       G
It's like she's walking on a wire in the circus

    C                                    D
She parks her car outside of my house and takes her clothes off
Em                                G
Says she's close to understanding Jesus
        C                                   D
And she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
        Em                               G
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous

[Chorus]
           C5     D5                   E5 G5
Round here we're carving out our names
        C5 D5                  E5 G5
Round here we all look the same

          C5                 D5           E5             G5
Round here we talk just like lions but we sacrifice like lambs
          C5     D5                  E5    G5
Round here she's slipping through my hands

[Bridge]
E5 D5 G5 C5
   Ohhh, sleeping children better run like the wind
E5 D5                        G5
   Out of the lightning dream
C5                                    E5
Mama's little baby better get herself in
D5
Out of the lightning

Em
She says, "It's only in my head"
                 Em
She says, "Shhh, I know it's only in my head"

(Again, the gist)

                                     Em
I said, "Did you think that you were dreaming?"
         D
I said, "No"
                             Em
"Did you think that you were dreaming"
         C
I said, "No"
                             Em
"Did you think that you were dreaming"
         D                 G    C
I said, "Sometimes I don't know"

Em D G C

          Em          D                 G           C
There's a girl on the corner out in the parking lot
                  Em           D             G    C
She says, "Come on, now come on, just take a shot"
                           Em                 D
She says, "Can't you see me, can't you see me
                 G                      C
Can't you see my walls are tumbling down
                 Em                      D
Can't you see my walls are crumbling down
                 G                       C
Can't you see my sun stop spinning around
                  Em                      D
Can't you see the sky turn black and brown
                      G             C
Can't you see the moon is flashing around
                Em                D
Can't you see me, can't you see me
             G
Can't you see,"
   C
"No!"

                Em                D
Said, there's a girl on the car in the parking lot
           G             C
She said, "Why don't you take a shot?
Em            D                       G C
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
       Em                D                       G           C
As she looks up at the building, she say's, "I'm thinking of jumping"
               Em           D             G            C
She says she's tired of life, she must be tired of something


[Chorus]
          C5     D5               E5 G5
Round here she's always on my mind
          C5         D5                E5   G5
Round here, hey man, we've got lots of time
          C5                          D5     E5              G5
Round here we're never sent to bed early and nobody makes us wait
          C5          D5          E5             G5
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late

            C5       D5            E5   G5
I can't see nothing, nothing round here
                C5                       D5
So catch if I'm falling, catch me if I'm falling
                    E5                  G5
Catch me 'cause I'm falling down on you

[Outro]
               C           (D)     Em   (G)
And I said I'm under the gun round here

(Yet again, you get the gist)

                C            D      Em   G
Man, I said I'm under the gun round here

            C               D
I can't see nothing, nothing
      Em
Round here
