[G]Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some stubborn le[C]aves
That didn't fall with the [Am]fall, and now they clatter in vain[G]
Holiday sky. Midnight clear. Wind is high, hard to st[C]eer
Old muffler rumbles lik[Am]e an old fighter plane[G]
[Ab]In search of some rest. In search of a br[C]eak
From a life of te[Am]sts where something's always at stak[G]e

Where something's always so far
What about my broken c[C]ar?
What about my life so f[Am]ar?
What about m[D]y dream?

What about,

[C]  What about[G] everything?
[Em]  What about ae[D]roplanes?
[C]  And what about[G] ships that drank the[Em] sea?

What about...
[C]  What about the[G] moon and stars?
[Em]  What about [D]soldier battle scars
[C]  And all the[G] anger that they[D] eat?
[Em]I am n[D]ot in[G] need.

[G]Get away and come with me.
Come away with me and we'll [C]see
If I was right on that [Am]night, that a future was[G] made
Before time takes each year, like a knife cuts it [C]clear
It's school, then work and then [Am]life that just sharpens the[G] blade
I think about time for fun. I think about time for [C]play
Then I think about being [Am]done, with no resu[G]me

With no one left to blame
What about fortune and [C]fame?
What about your love to o[D]btain?

What about the ring?

What about,

[G]  Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some reason [C]me
The hometown harbor lights [Am]bright, the sailboats clatter in [G]vain
Holiday sky. Midnight clear. Wind is high on this p[C]ier
I find it hard to complai[D]n when compared with what about...

[C]  What about[G] everything?
[Em]  What about ae[D]roplanes?
[C]  And what about[G] ships that drank the[Em] sea?

What about...
[C]  What about the[G] moon and stars?

[C]  And all the[G] anger that they[D] eat?

What about...
[C]  What about [G]aliens?
[Em]  What about [D]you and me and...
[C]  What about [G]gold beneath the sea?
[C]  What about[G]...
[C]  What about [G]when buildings fall?
[Em]  What about [D]that midnight phone call...
[C]  The one tha[G]t wakes you from your [D]peace?
[Em]  Well, I am[D] not,[G] I am [D]not, [Em]I am no[D]t in n[G]eed

Guitar licks during outro:

After...And what about ships that drank the sea?
