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

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

C      
You gotta 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 
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 defects 
         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 a 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 

Interlude 
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
