Verse

Roll down your window

Your crying's got everything steamed.

Roll down your window

It's not as desperate as you make it seem

You're so young to have seen it

And now your vision is much too old and much too clear

You know I'm friends with that darkness you've been seeing

We dated once or twice in earlier years

And I know that you’re trying

And believe me I know that it's tough

But I've seen you when you're dancing with the children

Skip ahead to the lighter stuff

Chorus

And tonight when they come I'll say they can't see you no more

Cause they'll draw out your life through a fine silver straw

And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your do-o-or

Solo over [: E / Asus 2:] (x2)

Verse

And you’re thinking of your family

And you’re thinking it's been much too long

Because you need some innocence and their order

But that medicine is much too strong

And we're holding so tight and we're falling

And the funny thing is both are just the same

You know freedom will find its own amusement

And it looks like we've found a waiting game

So you torture yourself for that moment

When the only thing left is to feel

You know romantics may run free in the darkness

But come the light, they're the first to kneel

Chorus

And tonight when they come I'll say they can't see you no more

Cause they'll draw out your life through a fine silver straw

And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your do-o-or

#m

But the lines we have drawn and the sides we have chosen

And my own indecision how badly that shows

And, God damn, if I was a hero I would have kept our little world clo-o-osed.

End with [: E / A :]
