[G]Cigarette smoke danc[Em9]es back in the window
And [Cadd9]I can see the [Em7]haze on the [D]dome light.
I`m [G]conjuring ghosts on a [Em9]forty-hour ride home.
And [Cadd9]they keep asking me what I`m [Em7]doing with my [D]life,
While my [Cadd9]cousins go to [D]bed with their [Em7]wives.
I'm [Cadd9]feeling like [D]I've fallen [A7sus4]behind.
Well the [G]highway won.
I`m [Em9]listening to traffic reports,
[Cadd9]One on one, coming [Em7]quietly un[D]done.
I was [G]born to run a[Em9]way from anything good
An es[Cadd9]cape artist`s son
With sun-drenched [Em7]pavement in my [D]blood.
The [Cadd9]first thing that I [D]do when I [Em7]walk in
Is [Cadd9]plan a way [D]out for when [A7sus4]shit gets bad
E D' C G` E
And I`ve been looking for tears in the screen door.
D` C
(tears in the screen door)
E D` C G` E
I`ve been waiting for another disaster.
D` C
(another disaster)
[G] [-] [Em9] [-] [Cadd9] [-] [Em7] [-] [D]
I`m [G]terrified like a [Em9]kid in the sixties,
[Cadd9]Staring at the sky [Em7]waiting for the [D]bomb to fall.
It`s [G]all a lie, what they [Em9]say about stability.
It [Cadd9]scares me sometimes,
The [Em7]emptiness I [D]see in my [A7sus4]eyes.
All the [Em9]kid`s names I?ve ever [Cadd9]liked are tied to [D]tragedy
[A7sus4] And I don?t want my [Em9]children growing up to [Cadd9]be anything [D]like me.
[Em7]I`ve been [D]looking [Cadd9]for
[G]Tears in the [Em7]screen door.
([D]tears in the [Cadd9]screen door)
[Em7]I`ve been [D]waiting [Cadd9]for
A[G]nother di[Em7]saster
(a[D]nother di[Cadd9]saster)
But [Em7]I was kind of [Cadd9]hoping you`d [D]stay.
[Em7]I was kind of [Cadd9]hoping you`d [G]stay.
[Cadd9] [-] [G] [-] [D]
I keep a [Em7]flashlight
And a [Cadd9]small knife in the [G]corner of my [D]bed stand.
I keep a [Em7]flashlight and the [Cadd9]train times,
But you wouldn?t [G]understand.
How could you [D]understand?
Jesus [Em7]Christ. I`m twenty[Cadd9]six.
All the [G]people I graduated [Cadd9]with
All have [Em7]kids, all have [Cadd9]wives,
All have [G]people who care if they [Cadd9]come home at night.
Jesus [Em7]Christ, did I [D]fuck up?
[Em7]I`ve been [D]looking [Cadd9]for
[G]Tears in the [Em7]screen door.
([D]tears in the [Cadd9]screen door)
[Em7]I`ve been [D]waiting [Cadd9]for
A[G]nother di[Em7]saster
(a[D]nother di[Cadd9]saster)
But [Em7]I was kind of [Cadd9]hoping you`d [D]stay.
[Em7]I was kind of [Cadd9]hoping you`d [G]stay.
[Em7]I was kind of [D]hoping you`d [G]stay.
