Verse:
E Asus2
Roll down your window
E Asus2
Your crying's got everything steamed.
E Asus2
Roll down your window
F#m11 B
It's not as desperate as you make it seem
E Asus2
You're so young to have seen it
E Asus2
And now your vision is much too old and much too clear
E Asus2
You know I'm friends with that darkness you've been seeing
F#m11 B
We dated once or twice in earlier years
E Asus2
And I know that you’re trying
E Asus2
And believe me I know that it's tough
E Asus2
But I've seen you when you're dancing with the children
F#m B
Skip ahead to the lighter stuff
Chorus:
E G#m C#m A
And tonight when they come I'll say they can't see you no more
E G#m C#m A
Cause they'll draw out your life through a fine silver straw
E G#m C#m A B
And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your do-o-or
Solo over [: E / Asus 2:] (x2)
Verse:
E Asus2
And you’re thinking of your family
E Asus2
And you’re thinking it's been much too long
E Asus2
Because you need some innocence and their order
F#m11 B
But that medicine is much too strong
E Asus2
And we're holding so tight and we're falling
E Asus2
And the funny thing is both are just the same
E Asus2
You know freedom will find its own amusement
F#m B
And it looks like we've found a waiting game
E Asus2
So you torture yourself for that moment
E5 A
When the only thing left is to feel
E5 A
You know romantics may run free in the darkness
F#m B
But come the light, they're the first to kneel
Chorus:
E G#m C#m A
And tonight when they come I'll say they can't see you no more
E G#m C#m A
Cause they'll draw out your life through a fine silver straw
E G#m C#m A B
And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your do-o-or
E G#m #m A
But the lines we have drawn and the sides we have chosen
E G#m C#m A
And my own indecision how badly that shows
E G#m A F#m B
And, God damn, if I was a hero I would have kept our little world clo-o-osed.
End with [: E / A :]
