[Intro] D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 [Verse 1]
   D5                            F5  G5
It happened fast, it's over quick

  D5                               F5  G5
A little dust, and the engine kicks

         D5                            F5  G5
Did your hands drift down off the wheel?

D5                           F5  G5
Roll out, hit your windshield

   D5           C5                         D5     C5
An eyelash or a little bit of sleep? Time stands still

     D5               C5             F5  G5  F5  D5
Just call it now, and you're on your way
[Chorus]

[Instrumental] D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 [Verse 2]
        D5                                      F5  G5
All the ashtrays, cities, and the freeway drives

D5                            F5  G5
Broken casino and water-slides

D5                            F5  G5
Eighteen-wheeler, payback dice

D5                             F5  G5
Gravity pulls on the power line

D5                  C5                    D5               C5
Jet stream cuts the desert sky, this is a land could eat a man alive

D5                  C5        F5  G5  F5  D5
Say you'll leave it all behind
[Chorus]
   F5  G5  F5  D5
Hey

       F5  G5  F5  D5
Hey hey

   F5  G5  F5  D5

[Instrumental bridge] G Csus4 C Csus4 C G Csus4 C Csus4 C G [Instrumental] D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 [Verse 3]
          D5                              F5  G5
There's a radio tower that's egging you on

D5                                      F5  G5
Back to the place where you never belong

      D5                                 F5  G5
Where people thrive on their own contempt

   D5                               F5  G5
Whatever meaning is long gone, spent

       D5              C5                    D5               C5
If you had to guess or make a bet, would you place yourself inside of it?

    D5                  C5               F5  G5  F5  D5
The mountains yawn, the clouds let out a sigh
[Outro]
                 F5  G5  F5  D5
"Tricked again", let go

    F5  G5  F5  D5
