Em G I'm
an accident
C D I
was driving way too fast
Em G Couldn't
stop though
C D So
I let the moment last
Em G I'm
for rollin'
C D I'm
for tossin' in my sleep
Em G It's
not guilt though
C D It's
not the company I keep
Em G People
my age
C D They
don't do the things I do
Em G They
go somehwere
C D While
I run away with you
Em G I
got my friends
C D And
I got my children too
Em G I
got her love
C D She's
got my love too
Em G I
can't hear you
C D But
I feel the things you say
Em G I
can't see you
C D But
I see what's in my way
Em G Now
I'm floatin'
C D Cause
I'm not tied to the ground
Em G Words
I've spoken
C D Seem
to leave a hollow sound
Em G On
the long plain
C D See
the rider in the night
Em G See
the chieftain
C D See
the braves in cool moonlight
Em G Who
will love them
C D When
they take another life
Em G Who
will hold them
C D When
they tremble for the knife
Em G
Voicemail numbers
C D On
an old computer screen
Em G Rows
of lovers
C D Parked
forever in a dream
Em G Screaming
sirens
C D Echoing
across the bay
Em G To
the old boats
C D From
the city far away
Em G Homeless
heroes
C D Walk
the streets of their hometown
Em G Rows
of zeros
C D On
a field that's turning brown
Em G They
play baseball
C D They
play football under lights
Em G They
play card games
C D And
we watch them every night
Em G Need
distraction
C D Need
romance and candlelight
Em G Need
random violence
C D Need
entertainment tonight
Em G Need
the evidence
C D Want
the testimony of
Em G Expert
witnesses
C D On
the brutal crimes of love
Em G I
was too tired
C D To
see the news when I got home
Em G Pulled
the curtain
C D Fell
into bed alone
Em G Started
dreaming
C D Saw
the rider once again
Em G In
the doorway
C D Where
she stood and watched for him
Em G I'm
not present
C D I'm
a drug that makes you dream
Em G I'm
an aerostar
C D I'm
a cutlass supreme
Em G In
the wrong lane
C D Trying
to turn against the flow
Em G I'm
the ocean
C D I'm
the giant undertow
Em G I'm
the ocean
C D I'm
the giant undertow
Em G I'm
the ocean
C D I'm
the giant undertow
