Out of the corner of my eye

There's a train in the station, and we'll hop on the back 
                                    C 
There's nothing to lose, we've got nothing we lack

When we're rolling this fast, we don't look back

Up in the morning, and there's nowhere to go

Too sick to feel the wind that blows

There's only ever been one cure I know

So many things that I wanted to say

I always found the words that got in the way 
                                 Am 
I looked into your eyes and you turned away

Down at the bottom and my blood's run thin 
                       C 
I always intended to start again

But I'll never rise above the din

I went out to your window as black as the coal

The night is empty to salve the souls 
                     Am 
The price we pay for alcohol

Someday I'll be a skeleton 
                                Am 
Put me into the ground, let me reach for the sun
