[Verse 1]
G C G
Do you want to watch the sun come up
Am Em
Sittin' in the weeds behind my house
D C
Keep our eyes on the planes that fly too low like
G
They're aiming for the ground
C G
Aiming for the ground
G C G
And do you want to meet me in the middle
Am Em
Of Centralia where the fire can't go out
D C
Find our things exactly where we left them

Burning underground

And the things that scared us half to death

They can't hurt us now

They can't hurt us now

Ten years I've been standing in the driveway
Am Em
Watching the grapevines eating up the road
D C
And I made up my mind to pull the stakes up
G
About a month ago
C G
'bout a month ago
G C G
Oh but you close your eyes and everything starts sinkin'
Am Em
Listen to the crackle of the coal
D C
And by the time you make it out your front door
G
The highway's just a hole
C G
The highway's just a hole
[Chorus]

But you'll make it out somehow
Em C
And the things that scared you half to death

They can't hurt you now

They can't hurt you now

Everybody told me
Em
I was gonna know when
C G
It was time to run
Em
But I got cold feet
Em
In the cool of the mornin'
C G
When I saw the black smoke risin' up
[Chorus]
D G C
And we'll make it out somehow
Em C
And the things that scared us half to death
G
They can't hurt us now
D
They can't hurt us now
