Round Here

Do9                          Re
Step out the front door like a ghost
                          Mim7
into the fog where no-one notices
                 Sol
the contrast of white on white.

    Do9
And in between the moon and you
    Re
The angels get a better view
        Mim7                         Sol
of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

        Do9
I walk in the air, between the rain
Re
through myself and back again.
Mim7                              Sol
Where?             I don't know.

  Do9
Maria says she's dying.
            Re
Through the door I hear her crying
            Mim7                 Sol
Why?               I don't know

          Do     Re                     Mim    Sol
Round here we always stand up straight
          Do     Re                     Mim    Sol
Round here, something radiates.

    Do9                         Re
 Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
                Mim7                              Sol
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
     Do9                         Re
She walks along the edge where the ocean meets the land
                Mim7                       Sol
just like she's walking on a wire in the circus

   Do9                               Re
She parks her car outside of my house

takes her clothes off
Mim7                               Sol
says she's close to understanding Jesus
          Do9                         Re
She knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
        Mim7                             Sol
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous

          Do      Re               Mim    Sol
Round here we're carving out our names
        Do  Re               Mim     Sol
Round here we all look the same
          Do                   Re
Round here we talk just like lions

        Mim             Sol
But we sacrifice like lambs
      Do           Re                  Mim
Round here she's slipping through my hands

La Re       La
    Round here

Lam7                      Re7      La        Sol La
Sleeping children better run like the wind
Lam7        Re7         La   Sol La
Out of the lightning dream
Lam7                       Re7     La
Mama's little baby better get herself in
 Do          Re
Out of the lightning

Do9            Re           Mim7       Sol
 She says, "It's only in my head."
         Do9               Re          Mim7    Sol
She says, "shh...I know it's only in my head."

        Do9
But the girl on the car in the parking lot
      Re
says: "Man, you should try to take a shot
Mim7                        Sol
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"

         Do9
Then she looks up at the building
              Re
Say's she's thinking of jumping
                Mim7
She says she's tired of life;

              Sol
She must be tired of something.

        Do        Re            Mim    Sol
Round here she's always on my mind
      Do    Re              Mim     Sol

Around here
                      Do
You catch me if I'm falling,
                     Re
You catch me if I'm falling,
                             Mim              Sol
