Caught Short In The Long Run

E Asus2 Roll down your window E Asus2 Your crying's got everything steamed. E Asus2 Roll down your window F#m11 B It's not as desperate as you make it seem E Asus2 You're so young to have seen it E Asus2 And now your vision is much too old and much too clear E Asus2 You know I'm friends with that darkness you've been seeing F#m11 B We dated once or twice in earlier years E Asus2 And I know that you’re trying E Asus2 And believe me I know that it's tough E Asus2 But I've seen you when you're dancing with the children F#m B Skip ahead to the lighter stuff E G#m C#m A And tonight when they come I'll say they can't see you no more E G#m C#m A Cause they'll draw out your life through a fine silver straw E G#m C#m A B And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your do-o-or Solo over : E / Asus 2 (2x) E Asus2 And you’re thinking of your family E Asus2 And you’re thinking it's been much too long E Asus2 Because you need some innocence and their order F#m11 B But that medicine is much too strong E Asus2 And we're holding so tight and we're falling E Asus2 And the funny thing is both are just the same E Asus2 You know freedom will find its own amusement F#m B And it looks like we've found a waiting game E Asus2 So you torture yourself for that moment E5 A When the only thing left is to feel E5 A You know romantics may run free in the darkness F#m B But come the light, they're the first to kneel E G#m C#m A And tonight when they come I'll say they can't see you no more E G#m C#m A Cause they'll draw out your life through a fine silver straw E G#m C#m A B And if I was a hero I would have fought them off at your do-o-or E G#m #m A But the lines we have drawn and the sides we have chosen E G#m C#m A And my own indecision how badly that shows E G#m A F#m B And, God damn, if I was a hero I would have kept our little world clo-o-osed.
