INTRO: G  G/F#  Em  C

G                    G/F#
Five in the morning, lying in bed
Em                            C
Listening to the thunderstorm in her head
G                            G/F#
Looks around the room as she opens her eyes
Em                          C
Pictures on the mantle of a life gone by
                      Bm               D
She's been sleeping a long time, hm-hm-hmm


G               G/F#
Quiet now, everyone still asleep
        Em                              C
She can feel her heart beating, she can hear herself breathe
    G                       G/F#
Her mother told her to be a dark mystery
    Em                             C
The darkness is out of control and she can't see
                    Bm        D
But at least she's alive, aha-ha


CHORUS:
            C                                Em
She's gonna hit the ground running from this dead end street
D                         Am
Saved by the power of her own two feet
  C                     Em
Remembering a song from long ago
      D                          Am
It's around and around, it's the way things go
               C
The way things go


INTERLUDE: Em  D  Am    C  Em  D  Am    


G                    G/F#
Shivers in the cold, slips on her clothes
Em                C
Walks downstairs, icy wind blows
G              G/F#                Em
Face to face inside the front door
                C
It's not a crime to need more
                      Bm                 D
There's something I'm looking for, oh-oh-ohh


G                         G/F#
If you leave now, you can never come back
       Em                    C
You're throwing us away, you can't do that
    G                            G/F#
I'm falling like a leaf from the family tree
  Em                 C
I don't need you the way you need me
    Bm             D
You need me, la-la-la-laa


CHORUS:
            C                                Em
She's gonna hit the ground running from this dead end street
D                         Am
Saved by the power of her own two feet
  C                     Em
Remembering a song from long ago
      D                          Am
It's around and around, it's the way things go


CHORUS:
C                                Em
Hit the ground running from this dead end street
D                         Am
Saved by the power of her own two feet
  C                     Em
Remembering a song from long ago
      D                          Am
It's around and around, it's the way things go
                                   C Em D   Am C Em D Am
The way things go, the way things  go_____
               C Em D      Am 
The way things go_____, oh no
               C Em D      Am 
The way things go_____, oh no
