Intro: E5, C#5, E5, C#5, A5 X2
E5 C#5
Tried to stand still
E5 C#5 A5
The schoolyard´s so apocalyptic
E5 C#5
Reject your will
E5 C#5 A5^¿
You´ll find it´s not your own
D5, E5, F5, E#5, A5 X4 ;Bridge
E5 C#5
Starting to seem
E5 C#5 A5
Your love may not be worth the roof that
E5 C#5 E5 C#5 A5
covers your head and stands for such a threat
E5 C#5
No trust at all
E5 C#5 A5
How could they expect less than a half-truth
E5 C#5
Can´t speek a word
E5 C#5 A5
Mom´s such a matriarch
B5, C#5, A5
Squint tigther... ;repeat x3
B5, C#5, A5
And they´re gone...
play intro x2 and Bridge x4
E5 C#5
There´s much less noice
E5 C#5 A5
It costs so much to make the phone ring
E5 C#5
No sound of cars
E5 C#5 A5
The highways far away
E5 C#5
When you place the blame
E5 C#5 A5
Try look past all their badges
E5 C#5
If you squint hard
E5 C#5 A5
You´ll find some beauty in it all
B5, C#5, A5
Squint tighter... ;repeat x3
B5, C#5, A5 E5 ;let ring
And they´re gone...
End of song.
