Maybe we make a deal

Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.

I been working at the convenience store

Just 'cross the border and into the city

         Cmaj7              G
You see, my old man's got a problem:
   Em                               D
He live with the bottle, that’s the way it is.
   Cmaj7                       G
He says his body's too old for working
Em                  D
His body's too young to look like his.
   Cmaj7             G             Em                         D
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give

Leave tonight or live and die this way.

So I remember when: we were driving, driving in your car
G

Em
City lights lay out before us
         D
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
    C Em      D
And I   had a feeling that I belonged
    C Em      D                            C        D
