B F# G#m C#

Wooden porches on rundown houses

B F# G#m C#

Mildewed sofas and grown-up yards

B F# G#m C#

Driving past them I am reminded

B F# G#m C#

Of where we come from and where we are

B C# F#

We are only passing through

B D#m C#

Like it's all we have to do

B F# C# D#m

And for all it means to me and you

C# B F# G#m C#

We are only passing through

B F# G#m C#

Up on Wall Street, they shape the curve (or curb)

B F# G#m C#

By what we have and what we deserve

B F# G#m C#

And I don't buy it and they don't care

B F# G#m C#

I can't say which of us is most aware

B C# F#

We are only passing through

Like it's all we have to do

And for all it means to me and you

Worse case scenario the world just keeps on turning

G#m D#m G#m C#

Best case scenario pretty much the same

B F#

And all that seems to matter

G#m C#

Is the scramble for the credit

B C#

And the blame

B F# G#m C#

Big old houses and tall white columns

B F# G#m C#

Iron gates to keep what's bad outside

B F# G#m C#

Driving past 'em I am reminded

B F# G#m C#

The price we pay just to enjoy the drive

B C# F#

We are only passing through

B D#m C#

Like it's all we have to do

B F# C# D#m

And for all it means to me and you
