[Verse 1]

Ab              Eb   Ab    Bbm7
She's a tickin' time bomb, mama
Eb               Ab
And I wanna watch her explode
                        Bbm7
Ocean eyes did set on a drama
    Eb
And I'll be the source of your roads
Eb                               Ab
I'll keep my cruel heart in a locket
                          Bbm
Give it to any girl who wants it
                             Bbm7     Eb
Please don't ask what's in my pocket
NC
Darlin' I never know

[Verse 2]

Ab                              Bbm7
Climb the hill that smells of lilacs
    Eb                              Ab
And let the lillies loosen your veins
Ab              Db       Ab
Another sunrise speeds by sidetracked
                     Eb     Db
Strip the wings from Angel 108
                                Ab                             Bbm
Those lovely chemicals are meant to clarify your cloudy head
             Bbm7            Eb
A man becomes bitterly bent
Eb
And he can never break

[Verse 3]

Ab                              Bbm7
God's in the corner singing karaoke
     Eb              Ab
It's raining right on cue
                Db     Ab  Bbm7
Hum the harp so helplessly hoping
     Eb                Db
That she'd walk in the room
Db                            Ab
The jukebox singin something fine
                            Bbm
We'd twirl beneath the neon signs
                                Bbm7
I guess that one of  these crazy nights
     Eb
I'll dream again with you

[Verse 4]
Ab        Eb        Ab    Bbm7
Everybody needs some safe place
   Eb                Ab
To settle with their fears
                              Bbm7
So I'll slip back over to the Blue Jay
    Eb                  Eb
And sip on one last beer
Db                              Ab
Lord, Cara knows the world is violent
                             Bbm7
Peace eludes, but you can find it
                         Bbm7      NC
In the songs, and in the silence
NC                        Ab
Honey, you're already here
