Bm                       E
Old world underground where are you now?
             Em
Subtract my age from the mileage
        D              F#
On my speeding heart, credit cards
   B
Accelerate, accumulate
 G#
Looked for you downtown
               Eь             G
Wound up in a movie with no story
 D                 F#                    Bm  G F#
Now it's late and you are nowhere to be found

Chorus:
Bm           G      F#
Hesitation's always mine
     Bm      G        F#
Hesitate outside the times
                  Bm
With all I don't say
                  G
With all I don't do
     F#
I'm sending you
    Bm       G      F#
Invitations to hesitate too

Every ten year-old enemy soldier
Thinks falling bombs are shooting stars sometimes
But she doesn’t make wishes on them
When she wishes,
she wishes for less ways to wish for
More ways to work toward it
Ten year-old enemy soldier
Our falling bombs are her shooting stars

Chorus:
Hesitation’s always mine
Hesitate outside the times
Oh, call me or drop me a line
Say you’ve been with me
Say you’ve been with me
Say you’ve been with me this whole time

Old world underground, I never knew you
But I’ve seen your face everywhere
There was a farm before we tore the small town down
Multiply, divide
