Verse:
   D MajorD                      F#F#
My true love drowned in a dirty old pan
   G MajorG                         D MajorD
Of oil that did run from the block
     B minorBm               G MajorG                E minorEm
Of a falcon sedan nineteen sixty nine
    G MajorG              D MajorD
The paper said '75
D*
There were no survivors
G MajorG           D MajorD
None found alive

D MajorD               F#F#
Trees break the sidewalk
        B minorBm                 D MajorD
And the sidewalk skins my knees
        B minorBm
There's glass in my thermos
    A majorA
And blood on my jeans
D MajorD                        B minorBm
Nickels and dimes of the fourth of july
B minorBm       A majorA    G MajorG
Roll off in a crooked line
       D MajorD
To the chain-link lots
                    D*
where the red tails dive
   D MajorD     D*               G MajorG
Oh how I forgot what it's like

We can go to my sisters if we say we'll watch the baby
    B minorBm                         G MajorG
The look on your face yanks my neck on the chain
    B minorBm                   G MajorG
And I would do anything (I would do anything)
   D*      G MajorG
To see you again
        D MajorD        G MajorG
So I?ve fallen behiiiiiind?

Moves like she runs
D MajorD
Hey, when she moves, when she moves
                        Gmaj7Gmaj7
