Intro: E Abm F#m B

 E                               A
Street are filled with broken glass

                        Am
you get buried by the past, give me just

           E                       B
a little taste, lay this mess to waste,

           E
Take me home.

 E                          A
My mind is racing take me home, my body's

            Am
aching so alone, I'll make you want to stay

      E                      B              E
with me befriended by the enemy, one more time

CHORUS:

 E                                      Abm
Every little thing about you tells me nothing out

                             F#m
there is ever gonna help me all these words that

              B                       E
I hear spoken - just promises broken now

 G                                     Csus2
Looking outside from the window sill throw another

                                  G
coin in the wishing well,  you'll never find what

      Csus2       A  D          A
your looking for, 15 miles your dim light shines

        D         B        E        B
from so far away, your sad smile, is all I see

        E
when I say

REPEAT CHORUS---

E               A
From the hotel satellite don't look like you're livin'

Am                            E
right here's a deal you can't refuse, you ain't got as

        B        E                              Abm
much to lose ----Can you tell your troubles to someone

                        F#m          B     E
who won't laugh at you, It's alright.     And as I watch

               Abm                          F#m         B
you walk away hope a part of you will stay, it's alright

REPEAT CHORUS ONCE and you're through! In the breaks between verses, the little hammer is just A to B. On the A string: open then second fret The little run before "Looking outside from the window.." is just C-B-A-D J.Pepper Berry Los Angeles
