                     G
I'm looking for your back door and firing up a chain saw

I got candy from the drug store

      D            C        G

By the fact that this is great big rollin' thin

                 G
Rollin' down the highway

                   D
It ain't comin' my way

         C
And I'll disappear

Just like I've never been

I know I heard you whisper
