Verse 1:

         D
You're a passing car on a one way street
      A                    G           D
Heading straight through the red lights where the midnight and heartbreak meet
          D
You're a bird in flight to a house in flames
        A             G         D
Yeah, you've played every card, but you know it's a losing game


Chorus:

  N.C.            D
Yeah, you're running down a darkened road
          A
Where even angels might not go
          Bm
Some stars have a long glow
             G
Let it pull you like a song you know
   G        D
It might look like a dream come true
             Bm   A G
But it only leads you straight into
         D
The thing that wrecks you


Verse 2:

       D       G    D
If I could change, I'd be good for you
    A            G            D
Oh, I hate all the madness and pain that I've put you through
 G        D                  G   D
It's not your fault (It's not your fault), it's just how I am (It's just how I am)
     A                G          D
You're a deer in the headlights and I'm driving as fast as I can (As fast as I can)


Chorus:

   N.C.         D
Oh, you're running down a darkened road
          A
Where even angels might not go
             Bm
And your star's got a lonely glow
            G
And I pull you like a song you know
   G         D
We might look like a dream come true
            Bm   A G
But it only leads you straight into
         Bm        G
The thing that wrecks you (Wrecks you)
         Bm     G
The thing that wrecks you (Wrecks you)
        Bm  G A  D
The thing that wrecks you


Bridge:

         D
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (Ooh)
         D
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you (Wrecks you)
         D
The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you
         D
You're a passing car on a one way street
         D
(The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you)
         D
(The thing that wrecks you, wrecks you)
         D
(The thing that wrecks you, that wrecks you)
         D
(The thing that wrecks you, that wrecks you)
