[INTRO]
Am
[VERSE]
Am
Between the cold drinks in the freezer
F
And the latest tabloid rags
D
A voice screams over the music
F
"Put the money in the bag!"
Am
No one ever hears his reason
F
No one ever hears his name
D
This is all happening right now
F
Less than five miles away
[VERSE]
Am
A shifty fortune teller
F
Communion with the dead
D
Lying about the astral plane
F
So she can keep her children fed
Am
Listening to a mother sick with cancer
F
Wondering what she's gonna say
D
This is all happening right now
F
Less than five miles away
D
This is all happening right now
F
Less than five miles away
[VERSE]
Am
There's a stranger in the bushes
F
Looking through the windows of a home
D
At a woman from the movies
F
That's been living there alone
Am
She's home at seven in the evening
F
He sees the code punched in the gate
D
This is all happening right now
F
Less than five miles away
D
This is all happening right now
[BRIDGE]
G C
And it all looks so pretty from a distance
F
How we're living out this story that we tell
G C
Baby we were both designed out in the cosmos
F
As just a way of asking questions about itself
G C F
[VERSE]
Am
You know the great writer that left us
F
Well his house is still around
D
Like an old dead volcano
F
That sleeps over the town
Am
They're gonna turn it into condos
F
They'll be done by New Year's Day
D
This is all happening right now
F
Less than five miles away
D F
This is all happening right now
