View chords used in this chart
C
Its like you're trying to get to heaven in a hurry
 
and the queue was shorter than you thought it would be
Dm G C
and doorman says you need to get a wristband
 
C
You gotta lift between the pitfalls
 
but you're looking like you're low on energy,
Dm G C
did you get out and walk to insure you'd miss the quicksand
 
F C
looking for a new place to begin
Dm G
feeling like its hard to understand
C C7
but as long as you still, keep peppering the pill
F D7
you'll find a way, to spit it out again
C G Am
and even when you know, the way it's gonna blow
F G
it's hard, to get around the wind
 
C Dm G C (x2)
 
C
stretching out the neck on your evening
 
trying to even out some defects
Dm G C
but its sabre-toothed multi-ball confusion
 
C
And you can shriek until you're hollow
 
or whisper it the other way
Dm G C
trying to save the youth, without putting your shoes on
 
F C
looking for a new place to begin
Dm G
feeling like its hard to understand
C C7
but as long as you still, keep peppering the pill
F D7
you'll find a way, to spit it out again
C G Am
and even when you know, the way it's gonna blow
F G
it's hard, to get around the wind
 
Interlude
C G Am F G C C G Am F E Am C F D7 C G Am F G
 
C
I can hear you through my window
 
but i'm never quite sure who is who
Dm G C
but they want the world on a desert spoon
 
C
it always sounds like they're fighting
 
or as if that's what they're about to do
Dm G C
it might not hurt now, but it's gonna hurt soon
