Verse 1:
C F
From an empty room on the first floor
Bb F
As the cars pass by the liqour store
C F Bb
I deconstruct my thoughts at this piano
C F
And it's all that I can do to stay with
Bb F
All the things I didn't say to you
C F Bb
Before you moved across the country
C F
And from the burning building where I lay
Bb F
As I watch the stars become the day
C F Bb
The L.A. girls were lacing up their sneakers
C F
They run the boardwalks and the beach
Bb F
This fishbowl life is all they need
C F Bb
It's everything I needed, too Until I heard the news
PreChorus:
Dm F Bb
I'll send this message through the speakers, they told me that you moved
Dm F Bb
I'll cross this country on a frequency
Chorus:
F Bb C
I'm slipping through, I'm slipping through
F Bb C
I'm slipping into the airwaves
F Bb C
And this is nothing new, you are slipping through
F Bb C
My fingers and into the airwaves, the static's where you'll find me
Verse 2:
From the corner by the studio
The gold-soaked afternoon comes slow
I deconstruct my thoughts and I am walking by
On Third Street, the freakshow thrives
Santa Monica's alive, but
Something's not so right inside
Living with the news
Ending:
F Bb C
So hold on, it's gonna be hard day
Bb F Bb
So hang on, now. Don't panic
C Bb
Don't panic, there simply is no need
Repeat: F Bb C Bb (till the end of the song)
