[Intro]
  Bm    G    D   Ax3
[Verse 1]
BmThat little kid with the metal in his head
GEverybody questions how he isn’t dead
DBut from that which mortal wounds bled
AComes amazing style from everything he said
[Chorus]
GDesolation lane, hear the Dthunder
BmStanding on the corner Gis the boy wonder
And Gthough his eyes are Dfilled with light
He Bmdrifts as a shadow inGto the night
With a sGhattered mirror and a Dcardboard crown
BmWalking through the streets of Gthis old town
Yet the Gone who cares will fDollow him there
BmNever leaving his heart Gfeeling bare
[Instrumental]
  Bm    G    D    Ax2
BmChanting the words of a Gthousand tears
DStanding tall to conAfront his fears
His Bmjoys in life come from Gsimple things
DStrumming away with inAtegrity
[Chorus]
GDesolation lane, hear the Dthunder
BmStanding on the corner Gis the boy wonder
And Gthough his eyes are Dfilled with light
He Bmdrifts as a shadow inGto the night
With a Gshattered mirror and a Dcardboard crown
BmWalking through the streets of Gthis old town
Yet the Gone who cares will fDollow him there
BmNever leaving his heart Gfeeling bare
[Instrumental]

As the Bmday broke in Ghalf, Awe went our Dway
But Bmyou stopped Gme and said it Awon’t go this way
BmPull me aGside and Acry until you fall
BmSpeaking a Gword that Aperfectly says it all
WithBmin the time a Gyear has passed
A mDoment too soon and it’s Aall too fast
BmTruly this hour will Glast for the rest
DPromise me this you’ll Ago do the best

[Intro]

Bm G D A

[Verse 1]

That little kid with the metal in his head

Everybody questions how he isn’t dead

But from that which mortal wounds bled

Comes amazing style from everything he said

[Chorus]

G D

Desolation lane, hear the thunder

Bm G

Standing on the corner is the boy wonder

G D

And though his eyes are filled with light

Bm G

He drifts as a shadow into the night

G D

With a shattered mirror and a cardboard crown

Bm G

Walking through the streets of this old town

G D

Yet the one who cares will follow him there

Bm G

Never leaving his heart feeling bare

[Instrumental]

Bm G D A

Bm G

Chanting the words of a thousand tears

D A

Standing tall to confront his fears

Bm G

His joys in life come from simple things

D A

Strumming away with integrity

[Chorus]

G D

Desolation lane, hear the thunder

Bm G

Standing on the corner is the boy wonder

G D

And though his eyes are filled with light

Bm G

He drifts as a shadow into the night

G D

With a shattered mirror and a cardboard crown

Bm G

Walking through the streets of this old town

G D

Yet the one who cares will follow him there

Bm G

Never leaving his heart feeling bare

[Instrumental]

Bm G A D

As the day broke in half, we went our way

Bm G A

But you stopped me and said it won’t go this way

Bm G A

Pull me aside and cry until you fall

Bm G A

Speaking a word that perfectly says it all

Bm G

Within the time a year has passed

D A

A moment too soon and it’s all too fast

Bm G

Truly this hour will last for the rest

D A

Promise me this you’ll go do the best

[Instrumental]

Desolation lane, hear the thunder

And though his eyes are filled with light

Bm G

He drifts as a shadow into the night

With a shattered mirror and a cardboard crown

Walking through the streets of this old town

G D

Yet the one who cares will follow him there

Bm D

Never leaving his heart feeling bare

G D

Jump up and shout it out loud

Bm G

Never forget to show that you’re proud

G D

Living in a slice of suburban hell

Bm G

Throw your bible into the well

G D

Don't hide yourself behind the lies

Bm G

Let them see the whites of your eyes

G D

And if you can’t face something alone

Bm G

I’ll be there when you put down the phone
