Intro:
*   *   *       *

                      
Here s the town we live in
                            
This is how the land lays out
             
I bought a map
                                             
Ooooo,   So I could find my way around,  way around


                      
Taped the map on the wall
              
Studied every avenue
                
I Found my way around
                       
Tried to feel at home for once

(Ooo ooooo ooo)

         
    


  
    

                    
We worked out a system
                          *  
When one of us would leave
                  
A thumbtack stuck showing 
                    *
Where we were going



                
All the time, you wore a hole
                                 
The same place tacked over and over
                          
And I never go there
             
I never go there

                             
But through that hole, you see 
                                      
My faith in you â€¦        boring deeper and deeper 
              
Finally through that wall


       *
 (slide) 
       *    
      
                   
Map began to rip apart
                            
I watched it falling to            the floor
            
I didn t bother 
                          
moving my thumbtack any more


                        
Here’s the town we live in
                      
This is how the land lays out
            
I bought a map
                 *   
So I could find my way around





                              (bass)    
           rip apart
                      *
I watched it falling to the ground
                 (bass)
I didn’t bother
                     
Moving my thumbtack any more

      Anymore

      Anymore

      Anymore

      Anymore
