Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 Took em high, took em straight up the hill

 You wanted it all, gave em such a pill

 Their parades, we stole every thrill

 In their games, we made every kill

 Took em hard, took em up against the wall

 In their loss, you never let them fall

 In their flames, sailed up to the moon

 In their rain, they dry like firewood

 So the bottom, five beers

 As the girl might just disappear

 Well that will be the death of me

 The day she~s just a memory

 Well she turned off the lights and she opened the whites

 In my eyes, another one in the dark

 Broken all apart

 Just another one in the dark

 When the road rolled on like a big drum

 Went to the top just to bud everyone

 Wanted to win, tie yourself with a string, and steal everything

 You took em skin on skin, laid em down in the rain

 So I swear we~re a pair

 Like loneliness and a prayer

 No I~m not the be, may still mean me

 Well she turned off the lights and she opened the whites

 In my eyes, another one in the dark

 Broken from the start

 Just another one in the dark

 In their nights, rayed out with the loud screen

 Or in their sleep, we~re all inside every dream

 So if you trying to break me

 C~mon, why don~t you shake me

 Right out of my dream

 The one that you and me, me...

 Woooaahhh... Heeyyyy.....

 Well she sang out of tune when she shot down the moon

 As I saw my arteries down on dividers

 And I was here at the Hoot, between the cup and the loot

 As I strut down under the lightening love

 As she cut all the strings that I tied to her wings

 Leaving me... in the dark

 Still just be apart

 And she never see me at all
