Cadd9 And in between the moon and you D The angels get a better view Em7 G of the crumbling difference between wrong and right. [Verse 2] Cadd9 I walk in the air, between the rain D through myself and back again. Em7 G Where? I don't know. Cadd9 Maria says she's dying. D Through the door I hear her crying Em7 G Why? I don't know [Interlude] C D Em G Round here we always stand up straight C D Em G Round here, something radiates. [Verse 3] Cadd9 D Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand Em7 G She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis Cadd9 D She walks along the edge where the ocean meets the land Em7 G just like she's walking on a wire in the circus [Verse 4] Cadd9 D She parks her car outside of my house takes her clothes off Em7 G says she's close to understanding Jesus Cadd9 D She knows she's more than just a little misunderstood Em7 G She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous [Verse 5] C D Em G Round here we're carving out our names C D Em G Round here we all look the same C D Round here we talk just like lions Em G But we sacrifice like lambs C D Em Round here she's slipping through my hands A D A Round here [Verse 6] Am7 D7 A G A Sleeping children better run like the wind Am7 D7 A G A Out of the lightning dream Am7 D7 A Mama's little baby better get herself in C D Out of the lightning [Bridge] Cadd9 D Em7 G She says, "It's only in my head." Cadd9 D Em7 G She says, "shh...I know it's only in my head." [Verse 7] Cadd9 But the girl on the car in the parking lot D says: "Man, you should try to take a shot Em7 G Can't you see my walls are crumbling?" Cadd9 Then she looks up at the building D Say's she's thinking of jumping Em7 She says she's tired of life; G She must be tired of something. [Verse 8] C D Em G Round here she's always on my mind C D Em G Round here I got lots of time C D Round here we're never sent to bed early Em G Man, nobody makes us wait C D Em round here we stay up very, very, very, very late. [Verse 9] G C D I, I can't see nothin', nothin' Em G Around here C You catch me if I'm falling, D You catch me if I'm falling, Em G Will you catch me cause I'm falling down on you Cadd9 D I said I'm under the gun Em7 G around here Cadd9 D Oh, man I said I'm under the gun Em7 G Around here Cadd9 D And I can't see nothin',nothin' Em Round here.
