Intro: G C G x3

   G                         Cadd9
I woke her up twice in the middle of the night
                                  G/B  G/A   G   
To ask what her name is and where she might live
                             Cadd9
To ask how many fingers she saw in this light
                               G/B  G/A   G
To ask if she might know what gives

                                         Cadd9
She said we rolled that Camaro, like a cowboy cigarette
                                G/B  G/A  G 
Out on the highway in a puddle of beer
                                 Cadd9
That's just about how close to death you're gonna get
                                G/B  G/A  G
Till the only thing standing is fear

         G            D/F#        G
Singing, oh darling, faces were changed
     C                         G/B   G/A  G
The names of the innocent, the story at five
             D/F#       G
Oh darling, faces get strange
     C                G/B  G/A  G
But only the song survives
   D/F#  G
Ah ha_____

                                            Cadd9
She said, now don't you remember they put a patch on your eye
                                         G/B  G/A  G
Like Dread Pirate Roberts, you looked so unplanned
                                      Cadd9
They cut off my wedding ring and you started to cry
                         G/B  G/A  G
A one-eyed Niagara Falls man

         G            D/F#        G
Singing, oh darling, faces were changed
     C                         G/B   G/A  G
The names of the innocent, the story at five
             D/F#       G
Oh darling, faces get strange
     C                G/B  G/A  G
But only the song survives
   D/F#  G
Ah ha_____

(Instrumental solo)

                               Cadd9
I said, but I never married, I said with surprise
                                  G/B  G/A   G
And is this the diamond you said that you lost
                                   Cadd9
It was under my eyelids when they flushed out my eyes
                                   G/B  G/A  G
Hell and I don't know what the thing cost

         G            D/F#        G
Singing, oh darling, faces were changed
     C                         G/B   G/A  G
The names of the innocent, the story at five
             D/F#       G
Oh darling, faces get strange
     C                G/B  G/A  G
But only the song survives

         G            D/F#        G
Singing, oh darling, faces were changed
     C                         G/B   G/A  G
The names of the innocent, the story at five
             D/F#       G
Oh darling, faces get strange
     C                G/B  G/A  G
But only the song survives
   D/F#  G
Ah ha_____
