Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A5]Two [Am]sets [A5]of ta[E5]illights [F5]burn dim [E5]and divide,[F5]
[E5]Stretch for miles making track
marks across what [F5]veins [E5]fail to carry.
You should have [F#]taken [E5]my k[F#]eys
while my [E5]hands were shaking.
You [F5]could have kep[E5]t the dead gone,
entombed in the soil of arms.
Raise the breathing abrasion [F5]with a

[Verse 2]
[E5]
turn of the key.
Lost motor skills and a set
cruise control.
Mangled insect screams
through the puddles of drool.
[Am]Mainline the h[E5]ighway baby,[Bb5]
[E5]Tie off

[Verse 3]
the concrete veins [Am]and
set the [B5]ra d[Bb5]i o to[E5] FM
Love [Bb5]songs [E5]clocked relapse defined by
the RPM's of a static heart,
Reanimated by the rush of
[F#]eyes and ho[E5]rizon.
[Am]Noth[G5]ing w[A5]arms [G5]like[A5] a roa[G5]d flare[A5][G5]
when caution [Am]sets.[Em][Am]

[Verse 4]
[Em]Anodyne [Am]seeps like dashed yellow [Em]lines
[Am]through the withdrawn rearview addict.
Drenched to the drawn
teeth in [G5]seething [E5]foam.
[Am]If y[G5]ou wa[Em]nt me[G5] dea[Am]d,[G5][E5]
[G5]you [Am]shoul[G5]d have called me home.[A5]
[G5]Rumble strip as pulse pre[Am]vents re
[G5]treating [Em]eyes, dilate a[F#]nd cl[G5]ose.

[Verse 5]
[F#]I can fe[G5]el the dry[F#] heaves moisten,
[G5]I can fe[G]el the blo[Em]od withdraw.
[G5]You [Eb]are my failed [G5]twelve
[E5]step [Eb5]pro gr[G5]am.[Am]
[F]A red light could [F5]kick this [E5]habit,
[F5]a ne[E5]edle [Am]full of[A5] the junkies fuel.[Am][A5][E5][Am]
[Em]Drops of [A5]blood [Am]on her fin [G5]gertips.
[A5]

[Verse 6]
[E5]Your arms ar[Am]e a[Em]
[A5]depriva[Am]tion chamber.
[A5]Ster[E5]ile to sixty[Am] in fo[A5]reve[Am]r flat.[G5][Am]
[E5]Diss[Am]olve into [E5]the
coast like John [Am]Wayne.
[E5]A hero a[A5]nd h[Am]is h[E5]eroine.[Am][G5][Am]
