Over My Head (Cable Car) - The Fray - "How to Save a Life"
Capo on first fret
[Verse 1]
   C
I never knew
    Em              G             C
I never knew that everything was falling through
        Em        G               C
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
    Em       G               Am   Em        D
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
                     C
But that's how it's got to be
       Em              G               C
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
      Em             G              C
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
      Em        G           Am     G        D
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears
[Chorus]
C    G    Em        G
Everyone knows I'm in
C        G     Em      D
Over my head, over my head
       C    G              Em     G
With eight seconds left in overtime
      C        G          Em   D    C
She's on your mind, she's on your mind
Em  G  C
Em  G
[Verse 2]
         C
Let's rearrange
   Em              G                C
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
    Em           G              C
To say that we agree and then never change
    Em   G            Am        Em    D
Soften a bit until we all just get along
            C
But that's disregard
     Em           G              C
You find another friend and you discard
        Em          G          C
As you lose the argument in a cable car
     Em   G            Am    G     D
Hanging above as the canyon comes between
[Chorus]
C    G    Em        G
Everyone knows I'm in
C        G     Em      D
Over my head, over my head
       C    G              Em     G
With eight seconds left in overtime
      C        G          Em       D
She's on your mind, she's on your mind
C    G    Em        G
Everyone knows I'm in
C        G     Em      D
Over my head, over my head
       C    G              Em     G
With eight seconds left in overtime
      C        G          Em  D
She's on your mind, she's on, oh
[Bridge 1]
       C          Em       G           C
And suddenly I become a part of your past
       Em          G              C
I'm becoming the part that don't last
      Em    G             Am
I'm losing you and it's effortless
[Verse 3]
C                        Em            G
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground 
         C
In the throw around
         Em              G         C
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
        Em         G            Am
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves
[Bridge 2]
G         G/F#
Everyone knows I'm in

Over my head, over my head

With eight seconds left in overtime

She's on your mind, she's on your mind...

Everyone knows...   she's on your mind...

I'm in over my head, I'm over my...

Over my head, over my head
