Capo
[Intro]

C#maj7 | Fm     | G#  | D#6   
Cm7/G  | C#maj7 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Fm
  September nine, two thousand one
                                      G#          D#6
Gary and I were skating at a hospital on top of a huge hill overlooking a valley
                                      Cm7/G
An ambulance came and took out a dead woman.
C#maj7
Gary asked me why she wasn't moving or blinking.
They hadn't closed her eyes yet

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G#/C
   She must have died on the way.
                                                  C#maj7
A car full of family and friends came in with the ambulance
They were all crying and hugging each other.
                          G#/C
One woman screamed hysterically and grabbed at the woman's body asking her to wake up
C#maj7 Fm
        I had to tell Gary that her soul went to Heaven.
G#
I didn't believe a word of it, but I knew it'd be easier for him to understand
D#6                      C#maj7
  Two days from now, at nine A M, two planes will hit the World Trade Center, 
killing over tree thousand people
D#6                                     Fm
  I will tell Gary that there is no God,  and all of this is meaningless
C#maj7
     But today, there is a God, and he has a plan for him

[Verse 4]
---------------------
G#/C                                                                      C#maj7
   He doesn't know it, but a year from now, our family will be torn apart     and I 
will move far away and won't see or talk to him for five years
G#/C                                                       C#maj7
   And as we sit on the hood of our car, the sun goes down     and he asks me what I 
want out of my life.
D#6
  I tell him I don't know

[Chorus]
---------------------
Fm
  On and on we run away
D#6                             C#maj7
  From the things we are afraid of   
Fm
  On and on we run away
D#6                             C#maj7
  From the things we are afraid of   
Fm
  On and on we run away
D#6                            C#maj7
  From the things we are afraid

[Verse 5]
---------------------
Fm                                                        G#          G#/C               
  I don't tell him about the dream I had the night before, where I'm riding in a car 
                                                              G#            Fm
full of strangers and singing to some song I've never heard and smoking a cigarette and
 we swerve off the road and hit a tree
G#                Fm                                                             
I go through the windshield and hit the edge of a fence, dislocating my jaw and 
                        G#              G#/C
flipping me into a wall, where my neck is broken, and my skull is fractured
        Fm          Cm7/G   C#maj7
I bleed to death in excruciating  pain

[Outro]
---------------------
C#maj7                                      D#6                                     
     I will have this dream periodically until I meet all of the strangers, one by
     Fm
 one introducing them all to each other until we are a close group of friends.
                           C#maj7
I will set these events in motion, and I will die
      D#6                                  Fm
But today in the warm light of the sunset, I don't see it. I just see the sunset
I smile back and shake my head
I have absolutely no idea
I am afraid
