[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
The [Am]stars were tripping
on a Tuesday night
I didn t know that it was cold
I got so high that the
seasons changed
I watched as silver turned to [F]gold[Am]
I dreamed my life
I was chasing it down
It didn t have no place to go
I shoulda known I woke the devil up
I shoulda heard the engine groan
The road was shaking but
my hands were still
The [D]lights were dancing on their [Am]own
I lit the dash I took my sun glasses off
I like to see that fucker [C]glow
Remember after school at
the Skyler[G]Park
Trading in our stories for the [Am]dark
In our heads in our own [G]way[C]
Remember Megan with her make up [G]off
She made us dream she got [Am]us off
It was good that she moved [G]away[Am]
I took a right onto Maple Hill
Somebody laughing in the wind
I should have felt the rain
on my left hand
I should have heard the
devil [Dm]grin[Am]
Lightning came from the other side
I could see the steel explode
[F]The[Am] sound of thunder
covered up my eyes
An engine screaming in my nose

[Verse 2]
The moon was raining down broken glass
[Am]
I didn t know I left the radio on
Until I heard it singing from [C]the mud
Then I saw them standing
'round this little [G]boy
Pale blue skin in his corduroy
[Am]Pumping his life they
were holding [G]on[C]
Then I heard the walls as
they began to [G]weep
His naked body had gone [Am]to sleep
I saw an old woman hit [G]the floor[Am]
My head was gone
But my clothes were on
I left my body in the car
I listened hard for the voice of God
I didn t hear nothin' at all
It was a sunset like I'd never seen
I could almost see [F]the [Am]end
I tried to reach it but I blew it away
Then it all turned black [F]again[C]
And I was a runner more than half my [G]life
I was a track star back [Am]in '95
I was full almost [G]a man[C]
And I had a girlfriend back
before I [G]died
The peeled her off from my wounded [Am]side

[Outro 1]
I could feel her empty hands
[G][C][G]
[Am][G][C]
[G][Am][G][C]
[G][Am][G]
