E0 G#m1 0Cigarette smoke dances back in the window A2 C#m3 B4 1And I can see the haze on the dome light. E5 G#m6 2I`m conjuring ghosts on a forty-hour ride home A7 C#m8 B9 3And they keep asking me what I`m doing with my life, A10 B11 C#m12 4While my cousins go to bed with their wives. A13 B14 F#m15 5I'm feeling like I've fallen behind. 6 7 E16 8Well the highway won. G#m17 9I`m listening to traffic reports, A18 C#m19 B20 10One on one, coming quietly undone. E21 G#m22 11I was born to run away from anything good A23 12An escape artist`s son C#m24 B25 13With sun-drenched pavement in my blood. A26 B27 C#m28 14The first thing that I do when I walk in A29 B30 F#m31 15Is plan a way out for when xxxx gets bad 16 17 C#m32 B33 A34 E35 C#m36 18And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door. B37 A38 19-tears in the screen door- C#m39 B40 A41 E42 C#m43 20I`ve been waiting for another disaster. B44 A45 21-another disaster- 22 Interlude: E46 G#m47 A48 C#m49 B50 23 E51 G#m52 24I`m terrified like a kid in the sixties, A53 C#m54 B55 25Staring at the sky waiting for the bomb to fall. E56 G#m57 26It`s all a lie, what they say about stability. A58 27It scares me sometimes, C#m59 B60 F#m61 28The emptiness I see in my eyes. 29 30 G#m62 A63 B64 31All the kid`s names I’ve ever liked are tied to tragedy F#m65 G#m66 A67 B68 32And I don’t want my children growing up to be anything like me. 33 34 C#m69 B70 A71 E72 C#m73 35And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door. B74 A75 36-tears in the screen door- C#m76 B77 A78 E79 C#m80 37I`ve been waiting for another disaster. B81 A82 38-another disaster- C#m83 A84 B85 39But I was kind of hoping you`d stay. C#m86 A87 E88 40I was kind of hoping you`d stay. 41 Interlude: A89 E90 B91 42 C#m92 43I keep a flashlight A93 E94 B95 44And a small knife in the corner of my bed stand. C#m96 A97 45I keep a flashlight and the train times, E98 46But you wouldn’t understand. B99 47How could you understand? 48 49 C#m100 A101 50Jesus Christ. I`m twentysix. E102 B103 51All the people I graduated with C#m104 A105 52All have kids, all have wives, E106 B107 53All have people who care if they come home at night. C#m108 B109 54Jesus Christ, did I xxxx up? 55 56 C#m110 B111 A112 E113 C#m114 57And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door.
