Racing rats

Em D/F# G Am G D/F# (deze akkoorden herhalen tot er boven de tekst staan)

When the time comes 
That you're no longer here 
Fall down to my knees 
Begin my nightmare 
Words spill from my drunken mouth 
I just can't keep'em all in 
I keep up with the racing rats               



Slow down little one 
You can't keep running away 
You mustn't go outside yet 
It's not your time to play 
Standing on the edge of your town
With the skyline in your eyes
Reaching out to gods
    Am       G       D/F# Em D
The sun says its goodbyes

     C             D             Em D
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
          C             D
How big a hole would it leave 
       Am             
In the surface of the earth 


Let's pretend we never met 
Let's pretend we're on our own 
We live different lives 
Until our covers blown 
I push my hand up to the sky 
Shade my eyes from the sun 
As the dust settles around me 
         Am       G     D/F# Em D
Suddenly nightime has begun 

     C             D             Em D
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
          C             D
How big a hole would it leave 
       Am
In the surface of the earth 
The surface of the earth

Come on now 
    G             D/F#
You knew you were lost
        Em7     C     G D/F#
But you carried on anyway
   Em7     C
Oh come on now
    G               D/F#
You knew you had no time 
        Em7     C          G D/F# Em D
But you let the day drift away 

     C             D             Em D
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
          C             D     Em D
How big a hole would it leave 
     C             D             Em D
If a plane were to fall from the sky 
          C             D
How big a hole would it make 
       Am
In the surface of the earth 
The surface of the earth
                       Em
The surface of the earth
