E F#m G#m A
[Verse]
E F#m G#m A
Under a black umbrella, you were keeping to yourself
E F#m G#m A
And the rain came down like diamonds on the sidewalk where you stood
E F#m G#m A
Another lonely town across the endless bible belt
E F#m G#m A
Nothing big enough for headlines ever happened here until today
E F#m G#m A
Looking like a stranger in your older brother’s coat
E F#m G#m A
You were watching from the corner, as the day slowly unfolded
E F#m G#m A
A ringing bell against the door of Frank’s Savings and Loan
E F#m G#m A
And you saw it all, the teller ducking down, the gun exploding
E F#m G#m A
Like an old bronze statue, you were frozen there in place
E F#m G#m A
One man slumped on the counter while the other filled a pillowcase
E F#m G#m A
And suddenly your feet were running, rain all in your face
E F#m G#m A
Across the street, the ringing bell, the door, the engine roaring
E F#m G#m A
Blood was on the floor, the teller reaching out his hand
E F#m G#m A
You felt his pulse, you called for help, you tried to stop the bleeding
E F#m G#m A
Sirens on the boulevard, a rush of blue motion
E F#m G#m A
Like a wave came on, their weapons drawn, the teller’s soul just leaving
E F#m G#m A
Hands over your head they said, and you tried to tell the truth
E F#m G#m A
The pillowcase, the getaway, the car, the blood and you
E F#m G#m A
In your older brother’s coat, your stocking hat and worn out shoes
