A B C#m
[Intro]
C#m B
[Verse 1]
C#m
Singin' to you in the back of the van
B
I can't fix it all but I'll hold your hand
C#m
Until the headlights crack and we drive
head first
B
For the graves in the yard of this New
Jersey church
C#m
And the closest I've come to the feeling of knives
B
Is the pain that I feel from the thorns in your side
C#m
Because they poke right through your sweater
B
And rip the fabric that holds our illusions together
[Chorus]
A B
And the antidote for all the things
A B
That tear us up from seam to seam
C#m
Is the space between our eyes
B
I never would have been here otherwise
A B
And I suppose that with our broken wings
A B
We'll have to learn to use our feet
C#m B
And maybe we will find a reason for our lives
A B
Well I guess we'll have to try, won't we?
[Interlude]
C#m B
[Verse 2]
C#m
Singin' to you in the back of my car
B
The lights flash red and the door's ajar
C#m
I could tell you the truth but the truth is much worse
B
So I'll tell you a lie and you'll never be hurt
C#m
And the closest I've come to the feeling of fine
B
Is the joy that I feel from your hands on my side
C#m
Because they poke right through your sweater
B
And rip the fabric that holds my delusions together
[Chorus]
A B
And the antidote for all the things
A B
That tear us up from seam to seam
C#m
Is the space between our eyes
B
I never would have been here otherwise
A B
And I suppose that with our broken wings
A B
We'll have to learn to use our feet
C#m B
And maybe we will find a reason for our lives
A B
Well I guess we'll have to try, won't we?
[Interlude]
A
[Bridge]
B A B
We'll have to try, won't we?
C#m B
You should just let this go, but I can't
C#m
tell you so
C#m B
No I can't and I won't, no I can't and I won't
C#m B
You should just let this go, but I can't tell
C#m
you so
C#m B
No I can't and I won't, no I can't and I won't
[Chorus]
A B
And the antidote for all the things
A B
That tear us up from seam to seam

We'll have to learn to use our feet

And maybe we will find a reason for our lives
