Intro - C  Dm  G  C

C
It's like you're trying to get to heaven in a hurry

and the queue was shorter than you thought it'd be
        Dm                G                 C
and doorman says you need to get a wristband

C     
You got a lift between the pitfalls

but you're looking like you're low on energy,
            Dm                        G            C
Did you get out and walk to insure you'd miss the quicksand?

 F                           C
Looking for a new place to begin
  Dm                            G
Feeling like its hard to understand
    C                            C7
But as long as you still keep peppering the pill
         F                         D7
you'll find a way to spit it out again
                   C        G               Am  
and even when you know the way it's gonna blow
F     G                       C
it's hard to get around the wind

C  Dm  G  C (x2)

C    
Stretching out the neck on your evening

Trying to even out some deficit
         Dm               G            C
But its sabre-toothed multi-ball confusion
C
And you can shriek until you're hollow

or whisper it the other way
         Dm           G                         C
Trying to save the youth without putting your shoes on

 F                          C
looking for a new place to begin
  Dm                            G
feeling like its hard to understand
    C                            C7
but as long as you still, keep peppering the pill
       F                     D7
you'll find your way to spit it out again
                   C       G               Am  
and even when you know the way it's gonna blow
       F                       G
it's hard, to get around the wind

Bridge - C  G  Am  F  G  C   
         C  G  Am  F  E  Am   
         C  F  D7  C  G  Am  F  G

C
I can hear you through my window

But I'm never quite sure who is who
          Dm       G            C
But they want the world on a desert spoon
C
It always sounds like they're fighting

or as if that's what they're about to do
Dm                 G                   C
It might not hurt now, but it's gonna hurt soon
