G Em9
Cigarette smoke dances back in the window
Cadd9 Em7 D
And I can see the haze on the dome light.
G Em9
I`m conjuring ghosts on a forty-hour ride home.
Cadd9 Em7 D
And they keep asking me what I`m doing with my life,
Cadd9 D Em7
While my cousins go to bed with their wives.
Cadd9 D A7sus4
I'm feeling like I've fallen behind.
G
Well the highway won.
Em9
I`m listening to traffic reports,
Cadd9 Em7 D
One on one, coming quietly undone.
G Em9
I was born to run away from anything good
Cadd9
An escape artist`s son
Em7 D
With sun-drenched pavement in my blood.
Cadd9 D Em7
The first thing that I do when I walk in
Cadd9 D A7sus4
Is plan a way out for when shit gets bad
E D' C G` E
And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door.
D` C
(tears in the screen door)
E D` C G` E
I`ve been waiting for another disaster.
D` C
(another disaster)
G - Em9 - Cadd9 - Em7 - D
G Em9
I`m terrified like a kid in the sixties,
Cadd9 Em7 D
Staring at the sky waiting for the bomb to fall.
G Em9
It`s all a lie, what they say about stability.
Cadd9
It scares me sometimes,
Em7 D A7sus4
The emptiness I see in my eyes.
Em9 Cadd9 D
All the kid`s names I've ever liked are tied to tragedy
A7sus4 Em9 Cadd9 D
And I don't want my children growing up to be anything like me.

But I was kind of hoping you`d stay.

I was kind of hoping you`d stay.
Cadd9 - G - D
Em7
I keep a flashlight
Cadd9 G D
And a small knife in the corner of my bed stand.
Em7 Cadd9
I keep a flashlight and the train times,
G
But you wouldn't understand.
D
How could you understand?
Em7 Cadd9
Jesus Christ. I`m twentysix.
G Cadd9
All the people I graduated with
Em7 Cadd9
All have kids, all have wives,
G Cadd9
All have people who care if they come home at night.
Em7 D
Jesus Christ, did I fuck up?
Em7 D Cadd9
I`ve been looking for
G Em7
Tears in the screen door.
D Cadd9
(tears in the screen door)

I`ve been waiting for

I was kind of hoping you`d stay.
Em7 D G
I was kind of hoping you`d stay.
