Intro: A, C, F, G, A, C, F
A             C                   F         G
Out under the stars dodging them like cars, baby

      A              C                    F
Cause when you gotta move,   you gotta move

(G)    A            C              F           G
   Whatever that it was   you were thinking of baby

A                 C                F
You certainly not thinking of that now

    D           G              D     G
And night birds singing     An empty tune

      D     G            D     A
In an empty house, in an empty room

   D     G                 D          G
An empty moment     Oh the nightbirds singing

        A                C                 (F)
We were supposed to rise above       But we sink

         A     C   F   G     A  C  F
Into the ocean

A           C         F              G
I feel like a body    stuffed into a trunk

         A                C                 F
From the million years of lying and getting drunk

(G)    A           C                    F               G
   The people here inside me   they are loud and in the night

     A                    C                 F
They scream and smash the windows when they fight

    D          G              D     G
And nightbirds singing     An empty tune

      D     G            D     A
In an empty house, in an empty room

    D     G                  D         G
And empty feelings   when it comes too soon

        A                C        F
We were supposed to rise above

        A                C
We were supposed to rise above

       F
But we sink

         A    C   F   G
Into the ocean       (x4)
