G Em Asus2 riff:
G Em Asus2 riff:
G Em
I went down the the gas station
Asus2
for no particular reason,
G Em
heard the screams from the high school,
Asus 2
it's football season.
Em C
Em C
G Em
empty lot the station faces,
Asus2
will probably be there forever.
G Em
I climbed over the four foot fence,
Asus2
I was trying to sever the tether.
D Am
moon in the sky,
Em
cold as a stone
D Am
spend each night in your arms,
C
always wake up alone.
G Em Asus2
G Em Asus2
G Em
I lay down in the weeds,
Asus2
it was a real cold night.
G Em
I was happy until the overnight attendant
Asus2
switched on the floodlight.
Em C
Em C
G Em
walking home I was talking to you under my breath,
Asus2
saying things I would never say directly.
G Em
I heard a siren on the highway up ahead.
Asus2
kinda wish they'd come and get me
D Am
frost on the sidewalk,
Em
white as a bone
D Am
tried to get close to you again,
C
always wake up alone.
Bm C
and as i was crossing our doorstep,
C G
i hesitated just a moment there.
Bm C
remembered the day we moved into our small house
C Am
'til the vision got to vivid to bear.
G Em Asus2
G Em Asus2
G Em
you were almost asleep,
Asus2
halfway undressed
G Em
i lay right down next to you
Asus2
held your head against my chest.
Em C
Em C
G Em
and a guy with any kind of courage
Asus2
would maybe stop to think the matter through
G Em
maybe hold you still and raise the question,
Asus2
instead of blindly holding on to you.
D Am
but we crank up the heat
Em
and you giggle and moan,
D Am
spend all night in the company of ghosts,
C
always wake up alone
G Em Asus2 etc.
