GCigarette smoke dancEm9es back in the window
And Cadd9I can see the Em7haze on the Ddome light.
I`m Gconjuring ghosts on a Em9forty-hour ride home.
And Cadd9they keep asking me what I`m Em7doing with my Dlife,
While my Cadd9cousins go to Dbed with their Em7wives.
I'm Cadd9feeling like DI've fallen A7sus4behind.
Well the Ghighway won.
I`m Em9listening to traffic reports,
Cadd9One on one, coming Em7quietly unDdone.
I was Gborn to run aEm9way from anything good
An esCadd9cape artist`s son
With sun-drenched Em7pavement in my Dblood.
The Cadd9first thing that I Ddo when I Em7walk in
Is Cadd9plan a way Dout for when A7sus4shit gets bad
E D' C G` E
And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door.
D` C
(tears in the screen door)
E D` C G` E
I`ve been waiting for another disaster.
D` C
(another disaster)
G - Em9 - Cadd9 - Em7 - D
I`m Gterrified like a Em9kid in the sixties,
Cadd9Staring at the sky Em7waiting for the Dbomb to fall.
It`s Gall a lie, what they Em9say about stability.
It Cadd9scares me sometimes,
The Em7emptiness I Dsee in my A7sus4eyes.
All the Em9kid`s names I’ve eveCadd9r liked are tied tDo tragedy
A7sus4 And I don’t want mEm9y children growing up tCadd9o be anythinDg like me.
Em7I`ve been Dlooking Cadd9for
GTears in the Em7screen door.
(Dtears in the Cadd9screen door)
Em7I`ve been Dwaiting Cadd9for
AGnother diEm7saster
(aDnother diCadd9saster)
But Em7I was kind of Cadd9hoping you`d Dstay.
Em7I was kind of Cadd9hoping you`d Gstay.
Cadd9 - G - D
I keep a Em7flashlight
And a Cadd9small knife in the Gcorner of my Dbed stand.
I keep a Em7flashlight and the Cadd9train times,
But you wouldn’Gt understand.
How could you Dunderstand?
Jesus Em7Christ. I`m twentyCadd9six.
All the Gpeople I graduated Cadd9with
All have Em7kids, all have Cadd9wives,
All have Gpeople who care if they Cadd9come home at night.
Jesus Em7Christ, did I Dfuck up?
Em7I`ve been Dlooking Cadd9for
GTears in the Em7screen door.
(Dtears in the Cadd9screen door)
Em7I`ve been Dwaiting Cadd9for
AGnother diEm7saster
(aDnother diCadd9saster)
But Em7I was kind of Cadd9hoping you`d Dstay.
Em7I was kind of Cadd9hoping you`d Gstay.
Em7I was kind of Dhoping you`d Gstay.
