[Verse 1]
       Bm
You're looking for a way out
Bm             A
I can feel it (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
         Em
Come on, show me where it hurts
      Em             Bm
Maybe I can heal it (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
     Bm
Your feelings are your own
        Bm                      A
Now you keep 'em under lock and key (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
           Em
You got me drivin' through the streets
       Em                     Bm
For an answer to the mystery (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
 
 
[Chorus]
G                  D                  A
 The world's still weak on Charleston Avenue
G             D                  A
 Outside that vacant Starlight Motel I see you
G                    D
 Laughing with your girlfriends
      A                        Bm     A       Em
Not a care in the world, not a burden on your mind
         Em        Bm
It was a matter of time
 
 
[Verse 2]
          Bm
There's a panic in this house
         Bm                A
and it's bound to surface (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
     Em
Just walkin' through the front door
Em                Bm
makes me nervous (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
     Bm
It's creepin' up the floorboards,
Bm                              A
got me wondering where I stand (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
         Em
I cannot put out the fire,
        Em                          Bm
I got a book of matches in my hand (uh-oh oh oh oh oh-uh oh uh-oh)
 
 
[Chorus]
G              D                   A
 When we first met, headstrong and filled with doubt
G                          D                     A
 Made just enough hustling tables that summer to take you out, I was...
G                  D              A                  Bm
 fallin' back on forever when you told me about your heart
            A      G                 D      A
You laid it on the line (uh-oh oh uh-oh oh)
G                 D      A
 (Yeah-eh ah yeah-eh ah)
G                   D
 Laughing with your girlfriends
      A
Not a care in the world
      Bm     A       Em
Not a burden on your mind (You're hanging on the line!)
Em       G      A
 It was just a matter
         D A       G
It was a matter of time
 
 
[Bridge]
     G                A           Bm             A
We'd find ourselves a place, we belong in this forever
      D                  A
Ain't that what it's all about?
         G           A
Make the promise and keep it
     Bm           A
Come hell or high water
D    A          G
We'd figure it out
           G                 A
It was the night, it was the moon
           Bm                 A
It was the green grass in the garden
    D               A
The victory and the sin
              G      A
I know you're weary, look at me
Bm              A
Flailing in the corner
           Em
Here's the towel
   D/F#         G
Go on, throw it in
 
 
[Chorus]
G         D A       G
 It was a matter of time
          G             A          Bm   A
Can't you see that it's tearing me up inside?
            D             A
Look what's laying at our feet
           G           A
That's the wreckage of broken dreams
    Bm         A
And burned out halos
         Em   D/F#   G
And it's here on our street (uh-oh oh oh uh-oh oh oh)
