[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
