I heard the locker doors rattle
D G D A
I heard a cheerleader scream
D G D A D G D A
Ground rolled like the ocean underneath me

It was a full-body experience

It was a slow-motion dream
D G D A D G D A
Not an end or a beginning, but somewhere in between

Well the ground has been shaking
D G G/F#
As long as I recall
Em A
If you never stop moving
D G G/F#
Well, at least you never fall

I walked home through the forest
D G D A
Far from the telephone lines
D G D
Wind didn't say a word
A D G D A
through the tops of the pines
D G D A
Well, we always had candles
D G D A
And batteries
D G D A D G D A
And multiple identities
Em A/C#
Well the ground has been shaking
D G G/F#
As long as I recall
Em A
If you never stop moving
D G G/F#
Well, at least you never fall

In a brand new town

In a brand new town
