C    G/B       Am7 G
What everybody knows
F             Em7
Not everybody shows

C    G/B              Am7 G
You caught me looking over
F                  Em7
Tears were in your eyes
C    G/B            Am7  G
What cuts make you bolder
F                 Em7
Could you read my mind?

C    G/B        Am7 G
What everybody knows
F             Em7
Not everybody shows

Chorus:
A#    Dm            Am
Look around, little one
                         A#
All this writing on the wall
             Dm  F          Am        C
You know it comes when you start to fall

What makes someone a stranger?
Is it someplace you won't go?
Somewhere you could get faded
Some way to keep you close

What everybody knows
Not everybody shows

Chorus:
Here you are, damage done
Pointless aiming in the dark
You will know when it comes
If you stick around, little one
All the writings on the wall
You know it comes
When you start to fall
