The Tunnel Duet

Intro |C | | | | | | | | | [Verso 1] G Near the old folk's home past Page Street and Ash C That patch of woods next to the pink laundromat G C Things you learn in middle school, you don't learn in class G Stole some weed from your uncle, so we hopped the fence C By the Section 8 housing, back when we were best friends G C You saw a brick wall, I found a path D C D The smell of summer water with nowhere to go C Hanging like vampires under the road [Refrão] G You said you can't get out the same way you came in C Fifteen, you're a kid, sixteen it changes Em D C Those walls could've caved in any second, for all that I knew G So, I held my breath said a prayer and kept running C Till the shape of the end took the afternoon sun in Em D C I don't know how it works or how God picks who gets to get through G C D G It just seems like a lot of life's been mostly the tunnel for you [Verso 2] G Your dad sat on an upside-down bucket in the garage watching Westerns C With the sound turned down, cold beer in his left hand G C Your mother called him in for dinner then ate alone G No one asks where you're going or asks how you've been C And you're covered in tattoos, just under the skin G C But you're wearing those long sleeves, so nobody knows D C D Hell, I bet the road headed south is somebody's north C Just like somebody's darkness is somebody's torch [Refrão] G But, you can't get out the same way you came in C Still think like a kid when everything changes Em D C Those walls could have caved in any second and blacked out the blue G Well I wanted to save you, but I just did nothing C Prayed the shape of the end lets the afternoon sun in Em D C I don't know how it works or how God picks who gets to get through D |C | It just seems like a lot of life's been mostly the tunnel for you |C | | | (Mostly the tunnel) |C | | | | [Ponte] F C G There's a light at the end, a light at the end, keep on running F C G There's a light at the end, and I promise my friend, it's coming F C There's a light at the end, there's a light at the end G G There's a light at the end, there's a light at the end F |C | | A light at the end Cm A light at the end Outro G
