[Verso 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 
 


[Refrão]
 
      C       D              Em        G 
Round here we always stand up straight 
      C    D             Em    G 
Round here something radiates 
 


[Verso 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 
 


[Refrão]
 
      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 
 


[Ponte]
 
         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 
 


[Refrão]
 
      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

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
