It's cloudy in the west, it looks like rain
F#                     A F#                 E A E
My eyes are black holes and I'm burning away
C#m                              E
You slaughtered your loving man, killed him in his sleep

The blood and crying of your murder simply stains the sheets

Your gesture is meaningless

You're lost to the living men
F#                                 A  E
Trailing souls to the end

It is not an art statement to drown a few passionate men
C#m                         E
You made yourself a diamond to blind young men's eyes
C#m                                         E
You claim because they want your shine they deserve to walk the line

Your gesture is meaningless

Trailing souls to the end

Yes, I would give you my love so my soul would not starve
C#                                         E
But it could never move the honest rock of what you are

A ghost on the highway

You're like straw and meaningless
F#                                 A  E
I hate you, but I love you
F#                                 A  E
I'll carry that to the end

F#                          A F#                    E A E
If I ever lie with you again, I pray I do not sleep
F#                          A F#                           E A E
If I ever close my eyes again, I'd realize what you are to me

You are simply a liar

An animal who bluffs and steals
C#m                E
Until you become a bigger creature's meal

And a ghost on the highway

You're trash and meaningless
F#                                 A  E
I hate you, but I love you
F#                                 A  E
I'll carry that to the end

F#                                 A  E
You're lost on the highway (repeat x 4)
