G                              D                             Cadd9      A7sus4
Broken yolk in western sky, my stomach turned, my mouth went dry
           G                 D
I knew I'd never known fear before
  G
I pressed my palms into the seat
     D                             Cadd9      A7sus4
Took one last look at you next to me
         G                 D         C                       G
I kicked open the sliding door and I threw myself out on the road
C                     G   Gsus2    Em                   A7sus4
Torn flesh and broken bones in the gravel and scattered trash;
  C               G
I faded into your past.
G
I know it was a cowardly thing to do and that
   D                       Cadd9      A7sus4
An explanation is not an excuse
G                       D          G
I just want you to understand that love is only a type of greed
   D                        Cadd9       A7sus4
Of equal portions want and need
        G                  D         C                  G
And you cannot divorce the two and I could not sleep at all
             C                  G   Gsus2    Em                A7sus4
With all the rumble strip close calls in the gravel and patchy grass;
  C               G
I faded into your past.



              When you think twice...

Broken yolk in western sky, my stomach turned, my mouth went dry
