Gmaj7: 320002
[Intro]
G Gmaj7 C C X4
[Verse 1]
G Gmaj7 C
The glory of a misspent youth
G Gmaj7
Chasing tire stains in muted thunder
C
Trading sex for drugs
Em C D
And my Ophelia does not drown
C
She just barely hangs on
[Verse 2]
G Gmaj7 C
Now driving drunk in Daddy's car
G Gmaj7 C
Honey, I won't spoil the ending
Em C D
But see that bend up in the road?
C
Didn't it seem that the night
C
Was a little too quiet?
[Verse 3]
D
When it seems your subjects
Am G
Have all forgotten you
C D Em
I need you to pretend that you are mine
D Am
And the water is just deep enough to
G
Take another chance
Am C D
Ah, but the river doesn't want you tonight
[Interlude]
G Gmaj7 C C X2
[Verse 4]
G Gmaj7 C
The engine was not built to last
G Gmaj7
And there's a permanence
C
To the memory of a bruise
Em C
But I still take it on
D C C
The chin for yo-u
[Verse 5]
G Bm C
You are not alone here
G Bm C
But you ain't helping me none
Em C G
Disabled motorist
Em C G Gmaj7
In the road, I have become one
Em C G
Disabled motorist
Em C G D
In the road, I have become one
