Intro:
E B A
E
Standing on a bus stop
E
Feeling your head pop
A
Out in the night
A
On the kind of night
E
Where you want to be out
E
On the street on the street
A
Crawling up the walls
A
Like a cat in heat
E
And the air is thin
E
And it blows through your skin
A
And you feel like something
A
Is about to begin
E
But you don't know what
E
And you don't know when
A
So you tear at your hair
A
And you scratch at your skin
E
You wanna run away run away
A
Just get on the fucking train and leave today
E
And it doesn't matter where you spend the night
A
You just might end up somewhere in a fight in a fight
E
Or caught in your room on a concrete shelf
A
Fighting all alone with yourself with yourself
E
And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed
A
In a wishing well a wishing well
B
A wishing well a wishing well
A
Well you're tossed in the air
A
And you fell and you fell
B
Through the dark blue waters
B
Where you cast your spell
A
Like you were just a wish that could turn out well
E B A
E
So you stand on the corner
Where the angels sit
And you think to yourself
This is it this is it
A
This is all that I have
All I can stand
Is this air in my lungs
And this coin in my hand
That you tossed in the air
And I fell and I fell
E
All the way to the bottom
Of the well of the well
E
Like those soft little secrets
E
That you tell that you tell
E
To yourself when you think
A
No one's listening to well
E
And the walls spin
E
And you're paper-thin
A
From the haze of the smoke
A
And the mescaline
E
The threat of your brow
E
Under unmade sheets
A
In your ear with the noise
A
From the darkest streets
E
We ran far and wide
E
You screamed you cried
A
You thought suicide was an alibi
E
But you were always a mess
E
You were always aloof
A
Yeah it's awful I guess
A
But it's the awful truth
E
It was truth from the first
A
To the last words that she read
B
And she emerged from the dark
B
Like a ghost in my head
A
She said I haven't forgot
A
Any words that you said
B
I just stare at the clocks
B
And I cry in my sleep
A
And I tear up your letters
A
And I burn them in heaps
B
And I gather the ashes
In that hole in the ground
A
Where we fell
