G+G  E minorEm  Asus2Asus2 riff:

G+G            E minorEm
I went down the the gas station
Asus2Asus2
for no particular reason,
G+G              E minorEm
heard the screams from the high school,
AsusAsus 2
it's football season.

E minorEm  C majorC
E minorEm  C majorC

G+G           E minorEm
empty lot the station faces,
Asus2Asus2
will probably be there forever.
G+G           E minorEm
I climbed over the four foot fence,
Asus2Asus2
I was trying to sever the tether.

       D MajorD  A minorAm
moon in the sky,
E minorEm
cold as a stone
D MajorD            A minorAm
spend each night in your arms,
C majorC
always wake up alone.

G+G  E minorEm  Asus2Asus2
G+G  E minorEm  Asus2Asus2

G+G         E minorEm
I lay down in the weeds,
Asus2Asus2
it was a real cold night.
G+G                E minorEm
I was happy until the overnight attendant
Asus2Asus2
switched on the floodlight.

E minorEm  C majorC
E minorEm  C majorC

G+G                 E minorEm
walking home I was talking to you under my breath,
Asus2Asus2
saying things I would never say directly.
G+G            E minorEm
I heard a siren on the highway up ahead.
Asus2Asus2
kinda wish they'd come and get me

       D MajorD     A minorAm
frost on the sidewalk,
E minorEm
white as a bone
D MajorD            A minorAm
tried to get close to you again,
C majorC
always wake up alone.

B minorBm            C majorC
and as i was crossing our doorstep,
C majorC             G+G
i hesitated just a moment there.
B minorBm         C majorC
remembered the day we moved into our small house
C majorC                A minorAm
'til the vision got to vivid to bear.

G+G  E minorEm  Asus2Asus2
G+G  E minorEm  Asus2Asus2

G+G        E minorEm
you were almost asleep,
Asus2Asus2
halfway undressed
G+G        E minorEm
i lay right down next to you
Asus2Asus2
held your head against my chest.

E minorEm  C majorC
E minorEm  C majorC

G+G             E minorEm
and a guy with any kind of courage
Asus2Asus2
would maybe stop to think the matter through
G+G             E minorEm
maybe hold you still and raise the question,
Asus2Asus2
instead of blindly holding on to you.

           D MajorD   A minorAm
but we crank up the heat
E minorEm
and you giggle and moan,
D MajorD            A minorAm
spend all night in the company of ghosts,
C majorC
always wake up alone

G+G  E minorEm  Asus2Asus2 etc.
