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 youâre 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 youâre thinking of your family
And youâre 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 amut
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 :]
