Intro: G Em Asus2 [riff] G Em Asus2 [riff]
G                       Em
I went down the the gas station

Asus2
for no particular reason,

G                            Em
heard the screams from the high school,
Asus 2 it's football season. Em C Em C
G                      Em
empty lot the station faces,

Asus2
will probably be there forever.

G                     Em
I climbed over the four foot fence,

Asus2
I was trying to sever the tether.

             D    Am
moon in the sky,

Em
cold as a stone

D                        Am
spend each night in your arms,

C
always wake up alone.
G Em Asus2 G Em Asus2
G                  Em
I lay down in the weeds,

Asus2
it was a real cold night.

G                               Em
I was happy until the overnight attendant

Asus2
switched on the floodlight.
Em C Em C
G                                  Em
walking home I was talking to you under my breath,

Asus2
saying things I would never say directly.

G                        Em
I heard a siren on the highway up ahead.

Asus2
kinda wish they'd come and get me

              D         Am
frost on the sidewalk,

Em
white as a bone

D                       Am
tried to get close to you again,

C
always wake up alone.

Bm                        C
and as i was crossing our doorstep,

C                         G
i hesitated just a moment there.

Bm                  C
remembered the day we moved into our small house

C                               Am
'til the vision got to vivid to bear.
G Em Asus2 G Em Asus2
G                Em
you were almost asleep,

Asus2
halfway undressed

G                Em
i lay right down next to you

Asus2
held your head against my chest.
Em C Em C
G                          Em
and a guy with any kind of courage

Asus2
would maybe stop to think the matter through

G                          Em
maybe hold you still and raise the question,

Asus2
instead of blindly holding on to you.

                     D     Am
but we crank up the heat

Em
and you giggle and moan,

D                       Am
spend all night in the company of ghosts,

C
always wake up alone
G Em Asus2 etc.
