Cifras
Passing Through a Screen Door

Introdução:

  E                                                      G#m  
Cigarette smoke dances back in the window
                  A                         C#m                      B  
And I can see the haze on the dome light
          E                                                      G#m  
I`m conjuring ghosts on a forty-hour ride home
             A                                                                      C#m                            B  
And they keep asking me what I`m doing with my life
                          A                              B                                    C#m  
While my cousins go to bed with their wives
             A                                            B                    F#m  
I'm feeling like I've fallen behind
                          E  
Well the highway won
             G#m  
I`m listening to traffic reports
A                                                 C#m                 B  
One on one, coming quietly undone
                  E                         G#m  
I was born to run away from anything good
             A  
An escape artist`s son
                                                C#m                                 B  
With sun-drenched pavement in my blood
             A                                            B                                 C#m  
The first thing that I do when I walk in
             A                      B                            F#m  
Is plan a way out for when shit gets bad
          C#m                      B              A      E                                 C#m  
And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door
     B                                 A  
(tears in the screen door)
C#m                      B              A         E                 C#m  
I`ve been waiting for another disaster
     B                      A  
(another disaster)
             E                                      G#m  
I`m terrified like a kid in the sixties
  A                                              C#m                                 B  
Staring at the sky waiting for the bomb to fall
                E                                                 G#m  
It`s all a lie, what they say about stability
          A  
It scares me sometimes
          C#m                         B                    F#m  
The emptiness I see in my eyes
                     G#m                                                 A                                            B  
All the kid`s names I’ve ever liked are tied to tragedy
        F#m                                    G#m                                                 A                                         B  
And I don’t want my children growing up to be anything like me
          C#m                      B              A      E                              C#m  
And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door
     B                                 A  
(tears in the screen door)
C#m                      B              A         E                 C#m  
I`ve been waiting for another disaster
     B                      A  
(another disaster)
          C#m                              A                              B  
But I was kind of hoping you`d stay
     C#m                         A                                 E  
I was kind of hoping you`d stay
                          C#m  
I keep a flashlight
                  A                                              E                            B  
And a small knife in the corner of my bed stand
                          C#m                                         A  
I keep a flashlight and the train times
                                                E  
But you wouldn’t understand
                                        B  
How could you understand?
                  E                    A  
Jesus Christ. I`m twentysix
                        C#m                                              A  
All the people I graduated with
                        E                                 A  
All have kids, all have wives
                          C#m                                                                      A  
All have people who care if they come home at night
                  C#m                                      B  
Jesus Christ, did I fuck up?
          C#m                      B              A      E                                 C#m  
And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door
     B                                 A  
(tears in the screen door)
C#m                      B              A         E                 C#m  
I`ve been waiting for another disaster
     B                      A  
(another disaster)
          C#m                              A                              B  
But I was kind of hoping you`d stay
     C#m                         A                              B  
I was kind of hoping you`d stay
     C#m                         B                              E  
I was kind of hoping you`d stay
