One Headlight                                           Wallflowers

D 

G
   So long ago, I don't remember when
       D
That's when they say I lost my only friend
           G
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
     D
As I listened through the cemetery trees
            G                      
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn, 
    D
The long broken arm of human law
        G
Now it always seemed such a waste. She always had a pretty face
   B7     
I wondered how she hung around this place
G
Hey,  come on try a little. Nothing is forever. 
D
   There's got to be something better than in the middle
G
   Me & Cinderella put it all together
D
We can drive it home   with one headlight
              G
She said it's cold. It feels like Independence Day
      D 
And I can't break away from this parade
            G
But there's got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me
D
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
                G
And I seen the sign up ahead  At the county line bridge
       D
Sayin' all is good and nothingness is dead
      G
We'll run until she's out of breath, She ran until there's nothin' left
    B7     
She hit the end it's just her window ledge 


CHORUS 

                   G
Well this place is old, It feels just like a beat up truck
           D
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
                   G        
Well it smells of cheaper wine & cigarettes, This place is always such a mess
     D
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
           G
I feel so old, I feel just like somebody else
             D
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
     G           
But somewhere here in between the seedy walls of dyin' dreams
  B7 
I think her death it must be killin' me
