[Verse]
C                                   Em9
Step out the front door like a ghost
                           Em
into the fog where no one notices
                G
the contrast of white on white.
   C
And in between the moon and you
    Em9
the angels get a better view
   Em                                     G
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.
       C
I walk in the air between the rain
 Em9
through myself and back again
  Em              G
Where? I don't know
 C
Maria says she's dying
            Em9
through the door I hear her crying
Em               G
Why? I don't know
       C      Em9             Em        G
Round here we always stand up straight
       C     Em9             Em        G
Round here something radiates
C                                Em9
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                                   Em9
and she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
                Em                         G
just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
              C
she parks her car outside of my house
    Em9
and,takes her clothes off
   Em                               G
says she's close to understanding Jesus
    C                                   Em9
she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
         Em                              G
she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
       C          Em9            Em       G
Round here we're carving out our names
  C         Em9             Em      G
Round here we all look the same
       C                     Em9
Round here we talk just like lions
            Em                  G
Oh, but we sacrifice just like lambs
   C               Em9               Em      G
Round here she's slipping through my hands
        C       Em9              Em     G
She says "I know it's only in my head"
         C           Em9              Em     G
She says "Shh, I know it's only in my head"
        C
But the girl on the car in the parking lot
     Em9
says "Man you should try to take a shot
Em                         G
can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
         C
Then she looks up at the building
              Em9
and she says "I'm thinking of jumping"
              Em
She says "I'm sick and tired of life"
       G
Everybody's tired of something
       C            Em9        Em     G
Round here she's always on my mind
  C         Em9               Em    G
Round here I've got a lot of time
                 C                   Em9
Round here we're never sent to bed early
           Em             G
yeah man, nobody makes us wait
       C              Em9          Em          G
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
             C            Em9         Em     G
I can't see nothing, no nothing around here
                        C
would you catch if I'm falling
                         Em9
would you kiss me if i'm leaving
                              Em            G
would you hold me 'cause i'm lonely without you
           C         Em9         Em     G
I said I'm under the gun around here
           C              Em9           Em     G
I said I'm lonely lonely lonely without you
               C           Em9         Em
I can't see nothing, no nothing, round here
