E Asus2 Roll down your window It’s not as desperate as you make it seem E Asus2 You’re so young to have seen it E Asus2 And now your vision is much too old and much too clear E Asus2 You know I’m friends with that darkness you’ve been seeing We dated once or twice in earlier years E Asus2 And I know that you’re trying E Asus2 And believe me I know that it’s tough E Asus2 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: E Asus2 And you’re thinking of your family E Asus2 And you’re thinking it’s been much too long E Asus2 Because you need some innocence and their order But that medicine is much too strong E Asus2 And we’re holding so tight and we’re falling E Asus2 And the funny thing is both are just the same E Asus2 You know freedom will find its own amusement And it looks like we’ve found a waiting game E Asus2 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 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 :]
