Key: G
Introduction: G G/F# Em C
G G/F#
Five in the morning, lying in bed
Em C
Listening to the thunderstorm in her head
G G/F#
Looks around the room as she opens her eyes
Em C
Pictures on the mantle of a life gone by
Bm D
She's been sleeping a long time, hm-hm-hmm
G G/F#
Quiet now, everyone still asleep
Em C
She can feel her heart beating, she can hear herself breathe
G G/F#
Her mother told her to be a dark mystery
Em C
The darkness is out of control and she can't see
Bm D
But at least she's alive, aha-ha
C Em
She's gonna hit the ground running from this dead end street
D Am
Saved by the power of her own two feet
C Em
Remembering a song from long ago
D Am
It's around and around, it's the way things go
C
The way things go
G G/F#
Shivers in the cold, slips on her clothes
Em C
Walks downstairs, icy wind blows
G G/F# Em
Face to face inside the front door
C
It's not a crime to need more
Bm D
There's something I'm looking for, oh-oh-ohh
G G/F#
If you leave now, you can never come back
Em C
You're throwing us away, you can't do that
G G/F#
I'm falling like a leaf from the family tree
Em C
I don't need you the way you need me
Bm D
You need me, la-la-la-laa
C Em
She's gonna hit the ground running from this dead end street
D Am
Saved by the power of her own two feet
C Em
Remembering a song from long ago
D Am
It's around and around, it's the way things go
C Em
Hit the ground running from this dead end street
D Am
Saved by the power of her own two feet
C Em
Remembering a song from long ago
D Am
It's around and around, it's the way things go
G G/F#
Five in the morning, lying in bed
Em C
Listening to the thunderstorm in her head
