Tom: D
Em
You're looking for a way out
Bm
A
Em
I can feel it
Em
Come on, show me where it hurts
Bm
A
Em
Maybe I can heal it
Em
Your feelings are your own
Bm
A
Em
Now you keep 'em under lock and key
Em
You got me drivin' through the streets
Bm
A
Em
For an answer to the mystery
G
D
A
The world's still weak on Charleston Avenue
G
D
A
Outside that vacant Starlight Motel I see you
G
D
Laughing with your girlfriends
A
D
A
Em
Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind
Em
It was a matter of time
Em
There's a panic in this house
Bm
A
Em
and it's bound to surface
Em
Just walkin' through the front door
Bm
A
Em
makes me nervous
Em
It's creepin' up the floorboards,
Bm
A
Em
got me wondering where I stand
Em
I cannot put out the fire,
Bm
A
Em
I got a book of matches in my hand
G
D
A
When we first met, headstrong and filled with doubt
G
D
A
Made just enough hustling tables that summer to take you out
G
D
A
D
I was fallin' back on forever when you told me about your heart
A
Em
You laid it on the line
G
D
Laughing with your girlfriends
A
D
A
G
Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind
(You laid it on the line)
G
A
D
A
G
It was just a matter, It was a matter of time
G
A
We found ourselves a place
D
G
We belong in it forever
D
A
Ain't that what it's all about?
G
A
Make the promise and keep it
D
G
Come hell or high water
D
A
G
We'd figure it out
G
A
It was the night, it was the moon
D
G
It was the green grass in the garden
G
A
The victory and the sin
G
A
I know you're weary, look at me
D
G
Flailin' in the corner
G
Here's the towel
A
G
Gº
on,
G
D
G
It was a matter of time
G
D
A
Can't you see that it's tearing me up inside?
G
A
Look what's laying at our feet
G
A
That's the wreckage of broken dreams
D
A
And burned out
G
A
G
And it's here on our street
