Standard (EADGBE)
I went out looking for the( answers, and never left my town (
I’m no good at understanding, but I’m good at standing ground(
And when I asked a corner preach(er, I couldn’t hear him for my youth (
Some people get religion, some people get the truth
I never get the tru(th, I never get the truth
Chorus
I know the darkness pulls o(n you, but it’s just a point of view
When you’re outside looki(ng in, you belong to someone (
And when you feel like gi(ving in, or the coming of the end
Like your heart could break( in two, someone loves you
I laid a suitcase on my chest(, so I could feel somebody’s weight
And I laid you to rest, just to feel the give and take (
I got a new interpr(etation, and it’s a better point of vi(ew
While you were looking for a landslide, I was looking out for you
I was looking out for you(, someone’s looking out for you
Chorus
I am afraid of crossing lines,(Em I am afraid of flying (blind
Afraid of inquiring minds, afraid of being left behind (
I close my eyes, I think of you(; I take a step, I think of you(
I catch my breath, I think of you; I cannot rest, I think of you(
My one and only wrecking ba(ll, and you’re crashing through my walls
When you’re outside looking in,(you belong to someone (
And when you feel like giving in,( or the coming of the end
Like your heart could break in two(, someone loves you
