Step  out the front door like a ghost
 into the fog where no-one notices
 the contrast of white  on white.
 And in in between  the moon and you
 angels  get a better view
 of the crumbling  difference between wrong  and right.
 I walk in  the air between the rain
through  myself and back again.
Where?  I don't know.
 Maria says she's dying.
 Through the door I hear  her crying?
 Why? I don't  know
 Round here  we always  stand up straight
 Round here,  something  radiates.
  Maria  came from nashville with a suitcase  in her hand
 She said she'd like  to meet a boy who looks like elvis
 She  walks along the edge where the  ocean meets the land
 just like she's walking  on a wire in the circus
 She  parks her car outside of my house
 takes her clothes off,
She  say's she's close to understanding Jesus
 She knows she's more  than just a little misunderstood
 She has trouble  acting normal when shes nervous
 Round here  we're carving  out our names
 Round here  we all look  the same
 Round here  we talk just like lions
 But we sacarifice  like lambs
 Round here  she's slipping  through my hands
 Sleeping children better run like the wind
Out  of the lightning  dream
 
Mama's  little baby better get herself in
 Out  of the lightning
 She says,  "It's  only in my head."
 She says,  "shh...I know it's  only in my  head."
 But the girl  on the street by the parking lot
 says:"Man,  you should try to Take a shot
Can't  you see my walls are crumbling?"
 Then she looks  up at the building
 Say's she's thinking  of jumping
 She says she's tired  of life;
 She must be tired  of something.
 Round here  she's always  on my mind
 Round  here I  got lots of time
 Round here  we're never sent to bed early
 Man, nobody  makes us wait
 round here  we stay up very,  very, very,  very late.
 I can't see nothin',  nothin'
 Around here
   You catch me if i'm falling,
 You catch me if i'm falling,
 Will you catch me cause i'm falling  down on you
 I said i'm under  the gun
 around  here
 Oh, man I said i'm under  the gun
 Around here
 And I can't see nothin',nothin'
 Round here.

[Cadd9]Step out the front door like a [D]ghost
into the fog where no-one [Em7]notices
the contrast of w[G]hite on white.

And in in betw[Cadd9]een the moon and you
ang[D]els get a better view
of the c[Em7]rumbling difference between [G]wrong and right.

I walk i[Cadd9]n the air between the rain
[D]through myself and back again.
[Em7]Where?             I don't know. [G]

[Cadd9]  Maria says she's dying.
Through the door I h[D]ear her crying?
Why?               I [Em7]don't know    [G]

Round here[C] we al[D]ways stand up straight[Em]      [G]
Round here[C], some[D]thing radiates.       [Em]             [G]

 Mar[Cadd9]ia came from nashville with a [D]suitcase in her hand
She said she'd l[Em7]ike to meet a boy who looks like [G]elvis
S[Cadd9]he walks along the edge where th[D]e ocean meets the land
just like she's [Em7]walking on a wire in the circu[G]s
She[Cadd9] parks her car outside of my hou[D]se

takes her clothes off,
[Em7]She say's she's close to understanding [G]Jesus
She knows she's [Cadd9]more than just a little m[D]isunderstood
She has [Em7]trouble acting normal when shes [G]nervous

Round h[C]ere we're c[D]arving out our n[Em]ames  [G]
Round h[C]ere we all [D]look the sam[Em]e         [G]
Round here[C] we talk just like lions [D]

But we s[Em]acarifice like lambs [G]
Round here[C] she's slippi[D]ng through my han[Em]ds

[A]   [Am7]              [D7] [A]                [A]
[A] Sleeping children better run like the wind
[Am7]Out of the l[D7]ightning dream[A]    [G]      [A]
  [Am7]              [D7] [A]              [A]
[A]Mama's little baby better get herself in
O[C]ut of the l[D]ightning

She s[Cadd9]ays, "It's[D] only in my [Em7]head."    [G]
She s[Cadd9]ays, "shh...I know it's[D] only in my[Em7] head."[G]

But the [Cadd9]girl on the street by the parking lot
says:"[D]Man, you should try to Take a shot
[Em7]Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"[G]

Then she [Cadd9]looks up at the building
Say's she's th[D]inking of jumping
She says she's t[Em7]ired of life;

She must be ti[G]red of something.

Round here[C] she's al[D]ways on my mi[Em]nd    [G]
Round[C] here [D]I got lots of t[Em]ime    [G]
Round here[C] we're never sent to bed ear[D]ly
Man, no[Em]body makes us wai[G]t
round here[C] we stay up [D]very, very, [Em]very, very la[G]te.
I can't see no[C]thin', noth[D]in'
Around he[Em]re
 [G] You catch me if i'm f[C]alling,
You catch me if i'm f[D]alling,
Will you catch me cause i'm f[Em]alling down on you

[G] I said i'm u[Cadd9]nder the gun [D]

a[Em7]round her[G]e
Oh, man I said i'm [Cadd9]under the gu[D]n
Around h[Em7]ere
[G]  And I can't see nothin',n[Cadd9]othin'
Round  her[Em]e.
