Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

::VERSE::

All alone

On the floor

 Next to your twin-bed box-spring and mattress

The door

Is ajar

From afar

 You can hear bands practicing

And When they dream they all

 Dream of somebody like you

Somebody who takes what they make

 Twice as seriously as they could ever hope to do

And when you dream

You dream of a day...

::CHORUS!::

When you find something you could love half as much

 As you love all your little round mirrors

See yourself reflected in one, theres a hole in the middle

You can't seem to fill

::BRIDGE::

/ X2

Bring them home

Watch them go

 All you know is you hope they'll hurry back

And you cry

Then you lie your frail body down

 Like a penny on a railroad track

And even if they stay in touch

 The past stays in the past

But every time

 You crash a little bit harder than the last

And every time you crash don't you

::CHORUS!::

Wanna find something you could love

 Half as much as you love all your little round mirrors

See yourself reflected in one

 There's a hole in the middle you can't seem to fill

::BRIDGE::

/ X2

::BREAKDOWN::

A shooting star is

A little piece of

Cosmic debris desperately wanting to fall to earth

It doesn't get too far

It's not a real star

It's hardly even worth footnotes in your memoir

Shoulder to shoulder

Up on our tip-toes

Chewing our fingers

 And craning our necks

 Just to see

Quite the collection

Divide by section

It's just a surrogate connection leaving you

::VERSE::

all alone

 On the floor

 next to your twin-bed box-spring and mattress

The door

Still ajar

 There you are and now you're coming to stay until

::CHORUS::

You can find someone who will love you as much

 As you love all your little round mirrors

Murdering your time in cold blood

 There's a whole in the middle you can't seem to fill

::OUTRO::
