Verse 1:
G         Gmaj7            C
The glory of   a misspent youth
         G             Gmaj7
Chasing tire stains in muted thunder
  C
Trading sex for drugs
Em         C               D
  And my Ophelia does not drown
                      C
She just barely hangs on

Verse 2:
G           Gmaj7             C
Now driving drunk in Daddy's car
       G       Gmaj7     C
Honey, I won't spoil the ending
Em              C              D
  But see that bend up in the road?
                         C
Didn't it seem that the night
C
Was a little too quiet?

Verse 3:
        D
When it seems your subjects
Am           G
Have all forgotten you
   C              D                 Em
I need you to pretend that you are mine
         D             Am
And the water is just deep enough to
 G
Take another chance
             Am                    C    D
Ah, but the river doesn't want you   tonight

Verse 4:
G         Gmaj7              C
The engine was not built to last
               G   Gmaj7
And there's a permanence
        C
To the memory of a bruise
Em             C
  But I still take it on
     D          C    C
The chin for yo-u

Verse 5:
G       Bm    C
You are not alone here
        G     Bm          C
But you ain't helping me none
  Em      C    G
Disabled motorist
                     Em        C G Gmaj7
In the road, I have become one
  Em      C    G
Disabled motorist
                     Em        C G D
In the road, I have become one
