[Intro] RIFF 1 RIFF 1 D5 C#5 D5 B5 RIFF 1 RIFF 1 D5 C#5 D5 B5 [Verse 1] RIFF 2
N.C                    B5
Though you let her down
RIFF 2
N.C.                  B5
You don't need to carry

       C#5              B5
What's far from here is not so scary
RIFF 2
N.C                    B5
Though you cannot see her
RIFF 2
N.C.                  B5
You don't have to worry

    C#5                         B5
She needs your hand though your eyes are blurry
RIFF 2*
N.C.              B5
She is getting thin
RIFF 2
N.C.               B5
You are growing gray and white

        C#5                               B5
And you don't know how to tell her as you say goodnight
[Chorus]
C#5  B5    D#5      C#5 B5  G#5 B5
In - ter - state,   poison  freeway

You could hold her close
RIFF 2
N.C.                B5
At night in your slumber

      C#5                     B5
Dream her as a child when you loved her mother
RIFF 2
N.C                    B5
Now you're in her house
RIFF 2
N.C.              B5
She is smiling in a dress

C#5                 B5
She is not a woman, you are just a guest
[Chorus]
