Verse 1:

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


Chorus:

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

Verse 2:

       D MajorD       G+G    D MajorD
If I could change, I'd be good for you
    A augmentedA            G+G            D MajorD
Oh, I hate all the madness and pain that I've put you through
 G+G        D MajorD                  G+G   D MajorD
It's not your fault (It's not your fault), it's just how I am (It's just how I am)
     A augmentedA                G+G          D MajorD
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 MajorD
Oh, you're running down a darkened road
          A augmentedA
Where even angels might not go
             B minorBm
And your star's got a lonely glow
            G+G
And I pull you like a song you know
   G+G         D MajorD
We might look like a dream come true
            B minorBm   A augmentedA G+G
But it only leads you straight into
         B minorBm        G+G
The thing that wrecks you (Wrecks you)
         B minorBm     G+G
The thing that wrecks you (Wrecks you)
        B minorBm  G+G A augmentedA  D MajorD
The thing that wrecks you

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