No Capo
Em
You're looking for a way out
Bm A Em
I can feel it
Em
Come on, show me where it hurts
Bm A Em
Maybe I can heal it
Em
Your feelings are your own
Bm A Em
Now you keep 'em under lock and key
Em
You got me drivin' through the streets
Bm A Em
For an answer to the mystery
G D A
The world's still weak on Charleston Avenue
G D A
Outside that vacant Starlight Motel I see you
G D
Laughing with your girlfriends
A D A Em
Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind
Em
It was a matter of time
Em
There's a panic in this house
Bm A Em
and it's bound to surface
Em
Just walkin' through the front door
Bm A Em
makes me nervous
Em
It's creepin' up the floorboards,
Bm A Em
got me wondering where I stand
Em
I cannot put out the fire,
Bm A Em
I got a book of matches in my hand
G D A
When we first met, headstrong and filled with doubt
G D A
Made just enough hustling tables that summer to take you out
G D A D
I was fallin' back on forever when you told me about your heart
A Em
You laid it on the line
G D
Laughing with your girlfriends
A D A G
Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind
(You laid it on the line)
G A D A G
It was just a matter, It was a matter of time
G A
We found ourselves a place
D G
We belong in it forever
D A
Ain't that what it's all about?
G A
Make the promise and keep it
D G
Come hell or high water
D A G
We'd figure it out
G A
It was the night, it was the moon
D G
It was the green grass in the garden
G A
The victory and the sin
G A
I know you're weary, look at me
D G
Flailin' in the corner
G
Here's the towel
A G
Go on, throw it in
G D G
It was a matter of time
G D A
Can't you see that it's tearing me up inside?
G A
Look what's laying at our feet
G A
That's the wreckage of broken dreams
D A
And burned out
G A G
And it's here on our street
You're looking for a way out
I can feel it
Come on, show me where it hurts
Maybe I can heal it
Your feelings are your own
Now you keep 'em under lock and key
You got me drivin' through the streets
For an answer to the mystery
The world's still weak on Charleston Avenue
Outside that vacant Starlight Motel I see you

Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind

Look what's laying at our feet
That's the wreckage of broken dreams
And burned out hales
And it's here on our street
