The Handsome Family – The Snow White Diner (Guitar)

Am                             G
I am eating hash browns in the snow white diner.

F                         Em
Outside cars are honking, flashing lights on the bridge.

        F                          Em                   Am
They're pulling a car out from the bottom of the frozen lake.

Am                       G
A woman drove her saturn into the black water

F                                Em
killed herself and her two kids, strapped in the backseat.

F                      Em                         Am
She'd lost her job and did'nt want her kids to be poor.

Am                  G
The diner is noisy, black coffee and sugar,

F                        Em
baskets of dinner rolls. Outside the crowd is growing,

F                            Em                          Am
waiting by the draw bridge, hoping to see the dead one's face.

Am                                G
In the booth next to me there are two old women,

F                                    Em
eating liver and onions, and they're laughing to loud

    F                      Em                          Am
and banging the table top: but then i see that they're deaf.

Am
I don't know why they're laughing,

          G                        F
maybe the worlds much nicer if you can't hear the cars.

Am                                 G
They make me feel better, like i'm drunk on a plane,

         F              Em       Am
and have forgotten i'm afraid to fly.
