The glory of  a misspent youth

Chasing tire stains in muted thunder

Trading sex for drugs

She just barely hangs on

I need you to pretend that you are mine
     D MajorD       A minorAm

Take another chance

Ah, but the river doesn't want you  tonight

        G+G  Gmaj7Gmaj7
And there's a permanence

To the memory of a bruise
E minorEm       C majorC

The chin for yo-u

In the road, I have become one

Disabled motorist

In the road, I have become one
