Cmaj7
[VERSE]
Fmaj7Hey kid at the show tonight
The face beCmaj7yond the barriFmaj7cade
How you dCmaj7ance and you sing to eFmaj7very single line
Like it was Cmaj7you up on that Fmaj7stage
I Cmaj7need to know your Fmaj7secret; I'm asking you for help
How do I Cmaj7fall in love with Fmaj7anything, like you seem to do so well?
I gotta get Cmaj7back to when it Fmaj7came out the way it was supposed to sound
Before Cmaj7money was ever Fmaj7changing hands, and my feet were on the ground
[PRE-CHORUS]
When I could fDm7eel the wind's dirEmectionF  
When I kDm7new what Am7songs to siGng
[CHORUS]
And he said, "Cmaj7Try ... Fmaj7not to get upset
Let it all go Cmaj7byFmaj7  
Because Cmaj7how ... Fmaj7can it be that bad
If we're all gonna Cmaj7die?"Fmaj7  
[VERSE]
C7ThatFmaj7's when I started to think about
               Cmaj7   Fmaj7N.C.
That girl that disappeared
How if it reCmaj7ally was the road that Fmaj7pulled me away
Or if I'm still a vCmaj7ictim of my fFmaj7ears
How she sCmaj7howed me the maFmaj7chinery that our words protect us from
How she could Cmaj7keep me in the Fmaj7moment, how that's all there ever was
I should Cmaj7call and ask to Fmaj7see her, even if it's just a couple days
I could Cmaj7meet her out in Fmaj7Georgia, or she could fly out to L.A.
[PRE-CHORUS]
And if the pDm7lane goes down on her Emway to meF  
I think I kDm7now how Am7she would reaGct
[CHORUS]
Cmaj7She ... Fmaj7would smile and close her eyes
And think about her Cmaj7lifeFmaj7  
While some Cmaj7voice .Fmaj7.. is screaming in the back
"We're all gonna Cmaj7die"Fmaj7  
[BREAK]
Bbmaj7  Ebmaj7
Bbmaj7  Ebmaj7
Bbmaj7  Ebmaj7

[CHORUS]
So Cmaj7try ... Fmaj7not to get upset
Everything is fCmaj7ineFmaj7  
Cmaj7Hey ... Fmaj7it's not that big a deal
We're all gonna Cmaj7dieFmaj7  
We're all gonna Cmaj7die (we're all gonna diFmaj7e) (we're all gonna die)  x 3
We're all gonna dCmaj7ie, ahFmaj7-ah-ah

[Intro]

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Cmaj7

[VERSE]

Fmaj7

Hey kid at the show tonight

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

The face beyond the barricade

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

How you dance and you sing to every single line

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Like it was you up on that stage

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

I need to know your secret; I'm asking you for help

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

How do I fall in love with anything, like you seem to do so well?

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

I gotta get back to when it came out the way it was supposed to sound

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Before money was ever changing hands, and my feet were on the ground

[PRE-CHORUS]

Dm7 Em F

When I could feel the wind's direction

Dm7 Am7 G

When I knew what songs to sing

[CHORUS]

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

And he said, "Try ... not to get upset

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Let it all go by

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Because how ... can it be that bad

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

If we're all gonna die?"

[VERSE]

C7 Fmaj7

That's when I started to think about

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

N.C.

That girl that disappeared

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

How if it really was the road that pulled me away

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Or if I'm still a victim of my fears

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

How she showed me the machinery that our words protect us from

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

How she could keep me in the moment, how that's all there ever was

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

I should call and ask to see her, even if it's just a couple days

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

I could meet her out in Georgia, or she could fly out to L.A.

[PRE-CHORUS]

Dm7 Em F

And if the plane goes down on her way to me

Dm7 Am7 G

I think I know how she would react

[CHORUS]

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

She ... would smile and close her eyes

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

And think about her life

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

While some voice ... is screaming in the back

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

"We're all gonna die"

[BREAK]

Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7

[CHORUS]

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

So try ... not to get upset

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Everything is fine

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Hey ... it's not that big a deal

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

We're all gonna die

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

We're all gonna die (we're all gonna die) (we're all gonna die) x 3

Cmaj7 Fmaj7

We're all gonna die, ah-ah-ah
