C
[Verse]
F C
all the tables nice and clean
F C
Evelyn's asleep
F C
on the grave yard shift again
G
selling gasoline
F C
and there's kids smoking on south first
F Am G
see high-school was just a blur, to her
C G
and everything just found their place it seemed
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F C G
there's an old folk song on the radio
Am F C G
sounding thin and dark and haunted
Am F C G
there's a bag of weed in the back beneath the books
Am F C G
and she can't stand the sight of this cul-de-sac
Am F C G
like an old crow, king of the lamp-post
Am F C G
and this window hasn't been this clean since it last rained
C
[Verse]
F C
well she pictures up a different day
F C
driving west to east L.A
F C
and there ain't no sign of a dime, but hey
G (Start strumming)
anyone can dream anyone can dream
[Chorus]
C F Am G
and all the college girls come in when the bars let out and they're hungry
C F Am G
making such a mess, Evelyn just talks trash, as she's sweeping up
[Post-chorus]
Am F C G
there's a thin dark cloud in the evening air
Am F C G
after every sunny day
Am F C
there's a bum who lives in the parking lot
G
wash the windows just to say hey.
[Instrumental]
C F Am G x4
[Verse]
F C
all the tables nice and clean
F C
Evelyn's asleep
F C
on the grave yard shift again
G
selling gasoline
F C
selling gasoline
