C Am
I was lost for a while in the mirrored hallway of a high-rise hotel F G Umbrella drink in my hand, sitting there C Am Saw ten thousand me’s with cocaine teeth and the chattering mouths F Thought about home thought about death G Thought about moving south C Rodeo wind blew in now the candles out Am And everyone’s scared F Call my broker sell everything G I want to be prepared C Heard the cavalry cry my girl for the night when Am I entered her F Sounds so fake, always feels fake finishes and G then it feels worst F But any hallway has a camera F C (hammer on and off on the D string 2nd fret) Every hallway has a camera don’t you know? F They never let you open the window F C (hammer on and off on the D string 2nd fret) They never let you open the window G7 Smoke signals of thought C C/B Am (do that walkdown thing thats in like every BE song) White ribbons of loss Fm G C (hammer on and off on the D string 2nd fret) High above the tree line They cry out (Repeat for second half of song) I froze up for a second on the pyramid side of the Las Vegas strip My brother hunched over in the bushes, getting sick Security knew he took one look and through us out, Life’s not fair Thought I'd die young with my true love Thought I’d be a millionaire In a mechanical world A loud sound you never heard is always there Radio’s trailing in the desert Keep driving until you disappear We made a gentlemen’s pact We’re not stopping no looking back, Lace those shoes Take the first step, take the next step “That a boy!” It’s never too soon All that you keep is the journey All that you keep are the spaces in-between It’s not the first start of the ending All that you keep is the journey Smoke rings around your thoughts Blue ribbons at dawn High above the tree line We pass out Smoke signals of thought White ribbons of loss High above the tree line They cry out" |

I don't know if people still come here, but I have a question.
in the above song, can someone walk me through that 'walkdown' he is talking about? |
