Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
C G
Step out the front door like a ghost
Am Em
Into the fog where no one notices
F C
The contrast of white on white
G Am
And in between the moon and you
F C
The angels get a better view
G Am F G
Of the differences creeping into you
Verse 2
C G
She says, “It’s only in my head”
Am
She says, “Shh, I know it’s only in my head”
F C
But the girl on the car in the parking lot
G Am
Says, “Man, you should try to take a shot
F C
Can’t you see my walls are crumblin’ down?”
G Am F G
And she says, “I’m nothin’ now”
Chorus
C G
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Am Em
Just like she’s walking on a wire in the circus
F
She paints her eyes as black as night now
C
Pulls those shades down tight
G Am
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain comes
F C
The pain gonna make everything alright
G
Alright
Am
Alright
F G
Says she’s alright
Verse 3
C G
Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates
Am Em
Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
F C
She said she’d like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
G Am F
She walks along the edge of where the harbor meets the cities
C G
And she winks at the blues
Chorus
C G
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Am Em
Just like she’s walking on a wire in the circus
F
She paints her eyes as black as night now
C
Pulls those shades down tight
G Am
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain comes
F C
The pain gonna make everything alright
G
Alright
Am
Alright
F G
Says she’s alright
Bridge
Am Em
Round here we’re never sent to bed early
F C
And nobody asks why
Am Em
Round here we stand up straight
F
Round here something radiates
Am Em
Round here we talk just like lions
F C
But we sacrifice like lambs
Am Em
Round here she’s slipping through my hands
F C G
Sleeping children better run like the wind
Verse 4 / Outro
C G Am
Out of her dream and into my car
Em
We went drivin’
F C
Nowhere fast
G Am F
And we went drivin’ nowhere fast
C G Am
And we went drivin’ nowhere fast
F C G
And she says, “I’m nothin’ now”
Am F C
And she says, “I’m nothin’ now”
G Am
And she whispers, “I am nothin’
F C
Nothin’ now”
G Am
Nothin’ now
F C
Nothin’ now
G Am
Nothin’ now
F C
Nothin’ now
G Am
Nothin’ now
F C
Nothin’ now
