Am 

[VERSE]
             Am
Between the cold drinks in the freezer
         F
And the latest tabloid rags
          D
A voice screams over the music
          F
"Put the money in the bag!"
       Am
No one ever hears his reason
       F
No one ever hears his name
              D
This is all happening right now
           F
Less than five miles away


[VERSE]
   Am
A shifty fortune teller
    F
Communion with the dead
D
Lying about the astral plane
            F
So she can keep her children fed
                 Am
Listening to a mother sick with cancer
           F
Wondering what she's gonna say
                D
This is all happening right now
           F
Less than five miles away
              D
This is all happening right now
           F
Less than five miles away


[VERSE]
            Am
There's a stranger in the bushes
                      F
Looking through the windows of a home
     D
At a woman from the movies
              F
That's been living there alone
              Am
She's home at seven in the evening
             F
He sees the code punched in the gate
               D
This is all happening right now
           F
Less than five miles away
             D
This is all happening right now


[BRIDGE]
        G                           C
And it all looks so pretty from a distance
           F
How we're living out this story that we tell
     G                                 C
Baby we were both designed out in the cosmos
           F
As just a way of asking questions about itself

G    C    F  


[VERSE]
              Am 
You know the great writer that left us
          F
Well his house is still around
         D
Like an old dead volcano
       F
That sleeps over the town
               Am 
They're gonna turn it into condos
            F
They'll be done by New Year's Day
              D
This is all happening right now
           F
Less than five miles away
             D                      F
This is all happening right now
