Verse 1
Am G
From the mountain tops down to the sunny street,
G13 F E7
A different drum is playing a different kind of beat.
Am G
It's like a mystery that never ends,

I see you crying and I want to kill your friends.

I hear your footsteps in the street,
Bm Bm aug
It won't be long before we meet,
Bm7 E7
It's obvious.
Amaj7 Fm
Just count me in and count me out and
Bm Bm aug
I'll be waiting for the shout,
Bm7 E7
Oblivious...

But down by the ballroom I recognized that flaming fountain

In those kindred caring eyes.

I hope it haunts me 'til I'm hopeless,
Gmaj7 Dmaj7
I hope it hits you when you go,

And sometimes on the edge of sleeping

It rises up to let me know it's not so deep,

I'm not so slow.

Verse 3
Am G
They're calling all the shots, they'll call and say they phoned,
G13 F E7
They'll call us lonely when we're really just alone.
Am G
And like a funny film, it's kinda cute
They've bought the bullets and there's no one left to shoot.

I hear your footsteps in the street,
Bm Bm aug
It won't be long before we meet,
Bm7 E7
It's obvious.
Amaj7 Fm
Just count me in and count me out and
Bm Bm
I'll be waiting for the shout,
Bm7 E7
Oblivious...
