INTRO 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!" VERSE 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 VERSE 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 VERSE A 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 Am 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 VERSE 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 This is all happening right now OUTRO Am
