[Verse 1]
C                                  D
 Step out the front door like a ghost into a fog
                 Em                     G
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
   C
In between the moon and you,
     D
the angels get a better view
           Em                          G
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
             C
Well, I walk in the air between the rain
       D
Through myself and back again
      Em
Where?  I don't know
G      C
 Maria says she's dying
                  D
Through the door, I hear her crying
      Em
Why? I  don't know

[Chorus]
G        C       D                     Em
 Round here, we always stand up straight 
G        C   D              Em
 Round here, something radiates

[Verse 2]
G      C                              D
 Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
                 Em                               G
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
          C                                D
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the
land
                  Em                       G
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
          C                              D
She parks her car outside of my house and takes her clothes
off
  Em                                G
Says she's close to understanding Jesus
             C                                 D
And she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
                Em                         G
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous

[Chorus]
        C           D               Em
Round here, we're carving out our names
G        C   D                 Em
 Round here, we all look the same
G        C
 Round here,
                    D          Em               G
we talk just like lions but we sacrifice like lambs
   C
Round here,
      D                    Em
she's slipping though my hands

[Bridge]
A D  A
   Oh ,
    C             D              A
sleeping children better run like the wind
C          D             A
Out of the lightning dream
  C             D                  A
Mama's little baby better get herself in
C          D
Out of the lightning

[Verse 3]
C                 D
 She says, "It's only in my head"
Em G
    She says, "Shh,
C             D         Em
 I know it's only in my head"
G          C
 But the girl on the car in the parking lot
         D
Says, "Man,
you should try to take a shot
  Em                           G
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
                  C
Then she looks up at the building
                   D
And says she's thinking of jumping
                 Em
She says she's tired of life
              G
She must be tired of something

[Chorus]
        C          D             Em
Round here, she's always on my mind
G        C           D              Em
 Round here, hey man, got lots of time
G
 Round here,
C                         D
we're never sent to bed early
       Em               G
Man, nobody makes us wait
        C               D           Em
Round here we stay up very, very, very,
very late

[Post-Chorus]
G                C
I, I can't see nothing,
  D        Em
nothing round here
   G                       C
Oh , you catch me if I'm falling,
                      D
you catch me if I'm falling
                            Em
Will you catch me? Cause I'm  falling down on you

[Outro]
G            C           D   Em
 I said I'm under the gun round here
G
 Oh man,
           C            D   Em
I said I'm under the gun round here
G
 Well I can't see nothing,
C     D          Em
 nothing round here.
