F#m     C#          G#m   C#
Out and things seem quiet cause
     F#m        C#              G#m       C#
They are, and I tell you this because
   F#m          E          A        D    A
No lullaby will send me to sleep tonight

         F#m           C#       G#m          C#
Speak of twilights and speak of gardens, and buildings
        F#m            C#         G#m     C#
And you know what that does to me
         F#m                E                         A           D    A
And I'll carry on with this Hell I've made, is there anyone there

[Chorus]
        Bm
Stage a scene where a love
                    D
Goes racing out the door
     F#m         E
Then exits stage left
     A                   D
Into lightly falling snow

[Verse]
F#m     C#       G#m   C#
Falling down the steps in
  F#m           C#         G#m   A
excitement that there is a view
  F#m   E              A       D     A
Nevada, Fortworth, and Dallas, Texas

        F#m   C#       G#m     C#
Next to Motel Continental breakfast
    F#m               C#     G#m   A
For Christ's sake and my sake, stay
    F#m    E          A         D           A
And in one place I'll leave her with what's left

[Chorus]
         Bm
And I'll stage a scene where I care enough
                    D
To go chasing after you
         F#m        E
And I'll exit stage left, surprised
       A               D
At the lengths I'll go to

[Outro]
Bm
To stop these teary eyes
  D              E
A hazard while I drive
    F#m   C#
Bum bum
