Intro:

A augmentedA C# minorC#m D MajorD E MajorE x2

Verse:

A augmentedA            C# minorC#m
I saw a crash on the interstate
D MajorD               E MajorE
It left a feeling I could not shake
A augmentedA          C# minorC#m
Just a name in a database who
D MajorD      E MajorE
must be notified
D MajorD             E MajorE
It's not a phone call I wanna make
C# minorC#m          F# minorF#m
A augmentedA stranger answers, I hesitate
C# minorC#m           F# minorF#m
Got some bad news that couldn't wait
D MajorD         E MajorE
Are you sitting down?

Verse:

A augmentedA              C# minorC#m
Her bathrobe hangs on the bedroom door
D MajorD             E MajorE
Though she's been dead for a year or more
A augmentedA           C# minorC#m
He buried her by the sycamore
D MajorD           E MajorE
So that he could keep her close
D MajorD             E MajorE
It broke his heart and it made him old
C# minorC#m          F# minorF#m
Tries to rebuild but it just erodes
C# minorC#m            F# minorF#m
Some people say that's the way it goes
D MajorD           E MajorE
But he don't feel that way

Harmonica:

A augmentedA C# minorC#m D MajorD E MajorE x2

Verse:

A augmentedA            C# minorC#m
Get too drunk and you can't perform
D MajorD             E MajorE
Something dies when a star is born
A augmentedA            C# minorC#m
I spread my anger like Agent Orange
D MajorD       E MajorE
I was indiscriminate
D MajorD            E MajorE
Yeah, I met Lou Reed and Patty Smith
C# minorC#m           F# minorF#m
It didn't make me feel different
C# minorC#m           F# minorF#m
I guess I lost all my innocence
D MajorD       E MajorE
Way too long ago

Harmonica:

A augmentedA C# minorC#m D MajorD E MajorE x2

Verse:
A augmentedA             C# minorC#m
She called my bluff and she won the fight
D MajorD             E MajorE
I ran outside in the hot twilight
A augmentedA            C# minorC#m
I had a lighter that didn't light
D MajorD           E MajorE
Well I know I shouldn't smoke
D MajorD            E MajorE
I was going, I was free to leave
C# minorC#m           F# minorF#m
Walking fast down the Bowery
C# minorC#m           F# minorF#m
Tears in my eyes so I couldn't see
D MajorD           E MajorE
But I made my way back home
