Backsliders - Throwin' Rocks at the Moon

G.........................D....................C..................G
Colder than the pennies on a dead man's eyes

G.......................D.............C.............G
meaner than a four-ten side-by-side

G.............D...........................C...........G
she's the stuff that makes worlds collide

G..........D...................C.................Em
she's a angel with a dangerous side


Em..........G........................Em
upstairs, razor glidin' on glass

Em............G.............................................Em
upstairs, some strangers hand on her ass

Em..........................G........................................D
upstairs, there's a door being closed in the dark

well she likes to go riding in her sister's car
hanging out the window wishing on a star
beatin' on the dash when the radio dies
making different boys with the look in her eyes

upstairs, her heart's beatin' too fast
upstairs, she swears this one's her last
upstairs, there's a deal going down in the dark

D
maybe in the middle of the night

C.............................G
she'll think about me

D
something won't hit her quite right

C...............................G
and it won't let her be

D
darkness comes swimmin' all around her

C..............................................G
and sleep never follows too soon

D
I'll be standing out in my front yard

C..................................G..........D
throwin' rocks at the moon

boys like to dance when that accordion plays
spinnin' her wheels down the lost highway
kickin' up dust on a dancehall floor
leavin' em thirsty beggin' for more

upstairs, razor glidin' on glass
upstairs, some strangers hand
on her ass upstairs there's a door being closed in the dark

maybe in the middle of the night
she'll think about me
something won't hit her quite right
and it won't let her be
darkness comes swimmin' all around her
and sleep never follows too soon
I'll be standing out in my front yard
throwin' rocks at the moon

throwin' rocks at the moon
throwin' rocks at the moon
throwin' rocks at the moon
