Duck and weave

Cover up my tracks

Drive home with old dreams at play in my mind

F        G           C
And the wind at my back

Break the lock on my own garden gate

F           G           C  C/B
When I get home after dark

C           G          Am       F
Sit looking up at the stars outside

F                  G            C C/B
Like teeth in the mouth of a shark
