You know I can't tell you,
I promised a secret
G 
D 
G 
D 
G 
D 
Besides, you don't really care
G 
D 
But the place that I sleep,
G 
it's the size of a quarter
D 
It's down at the top of the stairs
A 
D 
And where do you think that
G 
D 
you're going with that?
G 
D 
Your little girl's waiting,
A 
I'm sure
D 
A 
I'm numb and
D 
I'm cold, and
G

I'm soaking in the sea

It's too late tonight for

An d  if this rain keeps on falling,
A 
it'll wash me away
D 
G

Down through the gutter
and out to the bay
A 
D 
G

Where the red and the gold
and the silver fish play
Bm 
That's someplace where
A 
G 
no one will find me
Bm 
G 
A 
D 
Someplace where no one will find me
A 
G

Someplace where no one will tell me a lie

Like on the exit, like up the sky

D 
Down on the shoreline, we lived in a box
Each sunrise was special to me
Heaven was runnin' like
Em 
G 
gasoline on the water
Bm 
D 
I'd shiver and shake just to see
A 
D 
Watchin' them climb out of
G 
D 
the cars up on the blocks
G 
D 
A 
Green blankets and bags full of junk
D 
Asus4 
D 
Not much     was said,
they'd just roll up their bed
G 
D 
Bm 
And head to the war to get on a drum
A 
G 
D 
And the streets are still empty
G 
D 
as the moment shook wind
G 
D 
It's cool and it's quiet and
the moment's so clear
A 
G 
D 
And your face gives off light but
there's nobody near
Bm 
There's someplace where
A 
G 
no one will find me
Bm 
G 
A 
D 
Some days when no one will find me
G 
D 
A 
D 
It's out on the street, it is n't so bad
Bm 
D 
Bm 
Fallen, it's cracked up to be
G 
D 
A 
G 
Some are half crazy, others flash to be
D 
Some there just want to be free
Some may just want to be free
