Weightless In The Dark

G                                 
Well it felt a New Year long, 
                        Em
before you walked in to the door
                    C    D        
Before the elevator broke ,  on 
           G
the 97th floor

Well you never knew your dad, and 
                            Em
your family’s always been a chore
                           C    D 
You said religion gave you lots,  
                           G
but Laurel Canyon gave you more
                      Em           
You had tears in your eyes, we were
                G
 waiting in the dark
                       Em   Bm    
You had tears in your eyes,   
      D            G
ohhhh the arrow on the mark
G                                 
And now your runnin’ down the 
                         Em
hall, pushing cameras to the side
                            C      
And how its spoken with the sounds,
D                          G
 that are coming from your eyes

Continues after the ad
Well, we have methods , we have ways
                          Em       
And we have aching broken sores, 
                      C   D
but you said I’m like a wave
                     G
And you’re the rocky shore
                  Em             
It took a year to decide, we were 
                G
banging on the door

    G             Em      Bm     
It took a year to decide, ohhh 
            D                      
that you were mean’t for something 
  G
more

(Quietly)
G                                 
Well, it started with a noise, 
                         Em
that made us both close our eyes
                    C    D        
And as the elevator fell, I coulda
                 G
 sworn I saw you smile
                          Em       
But you had tears in your eyes, we 
                       G
were weightless in the dark
                     Em    Bm     
You had tears in your eyes, ohhh 
   D            G
the arrow on the mark
                      Em    G
You had tears in your eyes
                      Em   G
You had tears in your eyes
                      Em    G
You had tears in your eyes
                      C        
But I’m glad I got to know you, 
D                G
right before we die
