The cracks
View chords used in this chart
E Am E Am
Don't stop singing its a beautiful sound
E Am E Am
I'll get the drinks in before we hit the ground
B A E
I don't know who'll speak first
B A E
And it doesn't matter tonight
Am E
Lets be best strangers
Am E
They closed the bar an hour ago
Am E
The last train whistles down the track
B A
But I see something growing
E Am E
Up from the cracks
E Am E
I'll show you my heart if you'll show me yours
Am E
Are we wild and unique or just par for the course
B A E
What've we got to loose anyway?
B A
From one drunk to another
E Am E
I think what I'm trying to say is
Am E
Some mirrors have been broken
Am E
And some things will pull you back
B A
But I see something growing
E Am E
Up from the cracks
E Am E
We've all seen the thunder that's coming in low
Am E
And each day tries to run you right off the road
B A E
But If you listen hard for the sound
B A
We'll get a thousand hooves drumming
E Am E
In this one horse town
Am E
The lights are out on the west-side
Am E
And they'll paint the shadows black
B A
But I swear I see something shining
E
Up from the cracks
They closed this bar an hour ago
The last train whistles down the track
But I see something growing
Up from the cracks.
