Tom: G
C G D
Spit into the center of your hometown, there's leaves in the street,
Dsus4 D C G D Dsus4 D
and there are friends around you now. All the days of your life in a line.
C G D Dsus4 D
or the way they seemed by 89...
C G D Dsus4 D
But it's not all right. It's not even close to all right.
[Chorus]
C G
Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
D Dsus4 D
Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
C G
Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
D Dsus4 D
Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
[Verse]
C G
We lie awake at night in a tent and I say,
D Dsus4 D C
Tell me about your uncle and his friend because they seem like very bad men.
G D Dsus4
Well we want to keep away from them.
D C G D Dsus4 D
Bend in the road back there, we saw the place they go.
C G D
Tell me about the greatest show or the greatest movie you know
Dsus4 D C
or the greatest song that you taped from off the radio.
G D Dsus4
Play it again and again it cuts off at the ending though.
D C G
Tell me I'm always gonna be your best friend.
D
Now you said it one time, why don't you say it again?
Dsus4 D C G
All the way down the line to where the telephone ends
D Dsus4 D
come on and shout it on down the wire.
C G D Dsus4 D
And it's not all right. It's not even close to all right.
[Chorus]
C G
Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
D Dsus4 D
Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
C G
Down a hall in your house, down a road in December
D Dsus4 D
Down, down, down the deep river, down, down, down the deep river
[Verse]
C G
And as the rescue party, the volunteer team,
D
they're just kids of eighteen, and it's the worst thing
Dsus4 D C
they've seen they're standing all around that tree,
G D Dsus4 D
and I'm so sorry that I can't stop crying.
[Interlude]
C G D Dsus4 D x2
[Verse]
