Verse 1
[C] [D]
Step out the front door like a ghost
[Em] [G]
Into the fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white
[C]
And in between the moon and you
[D]
Angels get a better view
[Em] [G]
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
[C]
I walk the air, between the rain
[D]
Through myself and back again
[Em] [G]
Where? I don't know
[C]
Maria says she's dying
[D]
Through the door I hear her crying
[Em] [G]
Why? I don't know
Chorus
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
Round here we always stand up straight
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
Round here something radiates
Verse 2
[C] [D]
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] [D]
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
[Em] [G]
Just like she's walking on a wire at the circus
[C]
And she parks her car outside of my house
[D]
And, well, takes her clothes off
[Em] [G]
She says she's close to understanding Jesus
[C] [D]
And she knows she's more than just a little bit misunderstood
[Em] [G]
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous
Chorus
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
Round here we're carving out our names
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
Round here, hey man, we all look the same
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
Round here we talk just like lions, but we sacrifice like lambs
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
Round here she's slipping through my hands
Bridge
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
She says: "It's only in my head"
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
She says: "Shh, I know it's only in my head"
[C]
Oh, but the girl on the car in the parking lot says
[D] [Em] [G]
"Man, you should try and take a shot, can't you see my walls are crumblin'?"
[C]
And she looks up at the building
[D]
Says she's thinkin' of jumping
[Em] [G]
Says she's tired of life, she must be tired of something
Chorus
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
Round here she's always on my mind
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
Round here, hey man, I got lots of time, time, time, time, time
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
Round here we're never sent to bed early and nobody makes us wait
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
Round here we stay up oh very, very, very, very, very, oh very, very late
Outro
[C]
No, I can't see nothing
[D]
No, I can't see nothing
[Em] [G]
No, I can't see nothing
[C]
Would you catch me if I was falling?
[D]
Would you kiss me if I was jumping?
[Em] [G]
Would you catch me if I was falling down on you?
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
I said I'm under the gun round here
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
I said I'm under the gun round here
[C] [D] [Em] [G]
And I can't see nothing, nothing round here
