Intro
E B F#
I think these walls have a message or have changed
E
Which it is I can't decide.
E B F#
So I leave with the writer that remains
E
And let him tell me what his better days were like.
And I sit with the memory of kings
With only words to criticize
As if I finally found the antidote for pain
Without knowing what that's really like.
E F#
And our actor ends his love song
B E
And all these lovers sit and stare.
E B
If I don't find peace in the valle
F# /E /D# C#m /D# E (also Interlude)
It's cause there wasn't any there.
I will move somewhere the ocean's never seen.
Somewhere weeds just make their place
Where my best friend's exist only on screen
Where my love all fits and frays
But I want fire tumbling out into the night
I want you to know why you hold me close
Pull the quarter from my ear, or say you tried
I need magic or the holy ghost.
And as I drive on through these canyons
I'm still feeling like a crook
If I don't find peace in the valley
I've got no place else to look.
