Em               D   C                       Am
I set it all on fire, it burned away in the night
Em                     D    Am                         C  
Watching with eyes so tired, the orange and the blue arise
Am                   D          C                     D
Then I sped off on a motorcycle, like everything you dreamed
Am            D       C                     D
I’ll create a universe that you can barely see


[Chorus]

Em                Bm                   C
Inside or outside corner in the night
                  D                       Em
The coroner hides underneath the stairway
                      Bm                     C
Where the birds spin sticks in the corridors
                D     Em
Don’t tell the others
                      Bm                 C
The cider house side corner in the night
                       D                      Em
It’s poison, they are boarding up the windows
                  Bm                      
One down and they know it’s going to slip
    C             D      Em
So don’t tell the others


[Bridge]

Bm        C     D       Em  Bm   
Above my head, they’ll fly
            C             D          Em Bm  
With their lives that are more than mine,
               C   D    Em Bm  
Reach out my hands to light,
           C           D   
And feel life that is more


[Verse]

Em               D        C                       Am
I built a wooden backdrop, I made it look awfully real
Em                   D     Am                    C
I set it up in the woodshop and lit it electric teal
Am                      D           C                     D
Then coughed up just a little blood; it splashed into my hand
Am                    D       C                            D
Please run and get father now, 'cause I’m thinking this is bad...


[Chorus]

Em                Bm                   C
Inside or outside corner in the night
                  D                       Em
The coroner hides underneath the stairway
                      Bm                     C
Where the birds spin sticks in the corridors
                D     Em
Don’t tell the others
                      Bm                 C
The cider house side corner in the night
                       D                      Em
It’s poison, they are boarding up the windows
                  Bm                      
One down and it’s you that's gonna to slip
     C            D      Em
So don’t tell the others
