Verse:
               
Roll down your window
                            
Your crying s got everything steamed.
                 
Roll down your window
                                
It s not as desperate as you make it seem
                     
You re so young to have seen it
                                               
And now your vision is much too old and much too clear
                                                
You know I m friends with that darkness you ve been seeing
                           
We dated once or twice in earlier years


                     
And I know that you’re trying
                            
And believe me I know that it s tough
                                             
But I ve seen you when you re dancing with the children
                       
Skip ahead to the lighter stuff


Chorus:
                                                
And tonight when they come I ll say they can t see you no more
                                                
Cause they ll draw out your life through a fine silver straw
                                                   
And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your do-o-or


Solo  over    [: E      /      Asus 2:]  (x2)


Verse:
                            
And you’re thinking of your family
                               
And you’re thinking it s been much too long
                                        
Because you need some innocence and their order
                           
But that medicine is much too strong

                                  
And we re holding so tight and we re falling
                              
And the funny thing is both are just the same
                                   
You know freedom will find its own amut
                                
And it looks like we ve found a waiting game

                                        
So you torture yourself for that moment
                                       
When the only thing left is to feel
                                                         
You know romantics may run free in the darkness
                                               
But come the light, they re the first to kneel



Chorus:
                                                
And tonight when they come I ll say they can t see you no more
                                                
Cause they ll draw out your life through a fine silver straw
                                                   
And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your do-o-or
                                 #m             
But the lines we have drawn and the sides we have chosen
                                         
And my own indecision how badly that shows
                                                                
And, God damn, if I was a hero I would have kept our little world clo-o-osed.

End with [: E / A :]
