       Bm
You're looking for a way out
             A
I can feel it
           Em
Come on, show me where it hurts
                   Bm
Maybe I can heal it

      Bm
Your feelings are your own
                                 A
Now you keep 'em under lock and key
             Em
You got me drivin' through the streets
                          Bm
For an answer to the mystery

Chorus:
G                   D                   A
The world's still weak on Charleston Avenue
G              D                 A
Outside that vacant Starlight Motel I see you
G                    D  
Laughing with your girlfriends
       A
Not a care in the world,
       Bm    A       Em
not a burden on your mind
                    Bm
It was a matter of time

There's a panic in this house
and it's bound to surface
Just walking through the front door
makes me nervous

It's creeping up the floorboards,
got me wondering where I stand
I cannot put out the fire,
I got a book of matches in my hand

Chorus:
When we first met,
headstrong and filled with doubt
Made just enough hustling tables
that summer to take you out
I was falling back on forever
Then you told me about your heart
You laid it on the line

Laughing with your girlfriends
Not a care in the world,
not a burden on your mind
(You laid it on the line)
It was just a matter,
It was a matter of time

      G                 A
We'd find ourselves a place,
      Bm             A
we belong in this forever
             D           G A
Ain't that what it's all about?
           G          A
Make the promise and keep it
      Bm           A
Come hell or high water
      D A       G
We'd figure it out
            G                 A
It was the night, it was the moon
            Bm                 A
It was the green grass in the garden
     D            G  A
The victory and the sin
               G      A
I know you're weary, look at me
 Bm              A
Flailing in the corner
            Em
Here's the towel
    D           G
Go on, throw it in

Chorus:
It was a matter of time
Can't you see that it's tearing me up inside?
Look what's laying at our feet
That's the wreckage of broken dreams
And burned out halos
And it's here on our street
