Tom: F#
[Primeira Parte]
E G#m
Cigarette smoke dances back in the window
A C#m B
And I can see the haze on the dome light
E G#m
I`m conjuring ghosts on a forty-hour ride home
A C#m B
And they keep asking me what I`m doing with my life
A B C#m
While my cousins go to bed with their wives
A B F#m
I'm feeling like I've fallen behind
[Segunda Parte]
E
Well the highway won
G#m
I`m listening to traffic reports
A C#m B
One on one, coming quietly undone
E G#m
I was born to run away from anything good
A
An escape artist`s son
C#m B
With sun-drenched pavement in my blood
A B C#m
The first thing that I do when I walk in
A B F#m
Is plan a way out for when shit gets bad
[Refrão]
C#m B A E C#m
And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door
B A
(tears in the screen door)
C#m B A E C#m
I`ve been waiting for another disaster
B A
(another disaster)
( E G#m A C#m B )
[Segunda Parte]
E G#m
I`m terrified like a kid in the sixties
A C#m B
Staring at the sky waiting for the bomb to fall
E G#m
It`s all a lie, what they say about stability
A
It scares me sometimes
C#m B F#m
The emptiness I see in my eyes
[Ponte]
G#m A B
All the kid`s names I’ve ever liked are tied to tragedy
F#m G#m A B
And I don’t want my children growing up to be anything like me
[Refrão]
C#m B A E C#m
And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door
B A
(tears in the screen door)
C#m B A E C#m
I`ve been waiting for another disaster
B A
(another disaster)
C#m A B
But I was kind of hoping you`d stay
C#m A E
I was kind of hoping you`d stay
( A E B )
[Terceira Parte]
C#m
I keep a flashlight
A E B
And a small knife in the corner of my bed stand
C#m A
I keep a flashlight and the train times
E
But you wouldn’t understand
B
How could you understand?
E A
Jesus Christ. I`m twentysix
C#m A
All the people I graduated with
E A
All have kids, all have wives
C#m A
All have people who care if they come home at night
C#m B
Jesus Christ, did I fuck up?
[Refrão]
C#m B A E C#m
And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door
B A
(tears in the screen door)
C#m B A E C#m
I`ve been waiting for another disaster
B A
(another disaster)
C#m A B
But I was kind of hoping you`d stay
C#m A B
I was kind of hoping you`d stay
C#m B E
I was kind of hoping you`d stay
