 How are things going in the small dark movie of your life
G
 Late at night you call your girlfriend in the morning you call your wife
        Am
 In the morning you go for coffee leave town by the underpass
  Bm                                                           C  D D# Em

 The road used to go someplace you never been before

 Now it's just a race track and the only prize is more

 The only off-ramp is up ahead and just where ain't too clear
      Bm                                                          C  D D# Em
 And change is a semi with smoking wheels filling the rear view mirror

C D D# Em


Verse:
Em
 You could really use a rain coat and a pair of cool shoes
G
 You could really use some idea of what you're gonna do
          Am
 But the road keeps coming at you and you find no place to rest
     Bm                                              C  D D# Em
 And in these small dark movies no-one knows what's best
