[Intro 1]
[G]
[D]
[G]As it

[Verse 1]
[C]rained on the cars
[G]in the[D] street down below[G],
headed [C]north in [G]the pale [D]light of day.
There I [C]stood in my win[G]dow
an[D]d watching it a[G]ll,
making [C]plans to be [G]headed [D]that way.
Now I'm [C]up in the morn[G]ing,
[D]the stars fading out[G],
it's a [C]cold Arizon[G]a ins[D]tead.
Carmel[C]ita,
it's [G]me with my con[D]fidence crushed
[G]Looking dow[C]n at the dry[G] riverbed[D]
I [C]believed what they said
[G]about [D]Freddy's old man
[G]The arran[C]gement was eas[G]ily mad[D]e
There I [C]was in the [G]shad
ows without [D]any clue
[G]As to wha[C]t kind of tri[G]cks had[D] been played
And [C]when I got to the build[G]ing
[D]I seen Freddy's friend
[G]Pull awa[C]y in a big yel[G]low tru[D]ck
And when I [C]mentioned the money
[G]They showed [D]their true col[G]ors
And [C]that's when I [G]ran [D]out of luck
There's so many mis[Bm]takes
All so [Am]easily made
Then they topple [Bm]on off
Of the [Am]ship
You [D]better go [Bm]care[D]ful now
[Am]See what goes on
You had [Bm]better look out [D]for your[Am]self
[C]Oh yeah
[Am]Althou[C]gh Joe was marri[G]ed
She [D]weakened for [G]him
And the [C]pills took her [G]further [D]astray
She [C]lost her con[G]trol and she [D]lost everything
[G]Late one nig[C]ht on the eas[G]t
motor[D]way
There's a [C]man with a pen
[G]and a f[D]ast lin[G]e of talk
And some [C]print [G]further
down on [D]his page
[G]There's a [C]boy in [G]the bar
with a very [D]short fuse
[G]And you ain[C]'t see[G]n the
wrath of his [D]rage
There's so [Bm]many mistakes
all so [Am]easily made
And they [Bm]topple on off of the [D]ship
[Am]You'd [Bm]better go careful now,
[Am]see what goes on
You had [Bm]better look out for your[Am]self
Oh [C]yeah!
[Am]Oh y[C]eah![Bm][D][Am]
[Bm][D][C][Bm]
[D][Am][Bm][D][Am]
[C]
They're so frightened of pick
[G]ing up hitchhikers now
This [Bm]was o[C]ne time
[G]when it should have rev[D]ersed
Sid [Bm]was [C]there with his assignm[G]ent,
they pulled up beside him
He [C]smiled and got [G]in for the [D]worst
Jack[C]ie walking alone
[G]by the old[D] railroad tra[G]cks
On [C]the street he wrote [G]down all his [D]life
[C]Not a bad part of town,
[G]he was sta[D]rting to think
[G]When a str[C]anger walked up [G]with a kni[D]fe
Oh, the [C]heads of the chil[G]dren,
their [D]soft shining hair
[G]Heaven hel[C]p them tomorrow[G], I pray
[D]Who in the wor[C]ld that they're fa [G]cing
is fur[D]ther along
[G]On its cou[C]rse of ridiculou[G]s way[D]s
And the [C]friends you select
[G]and the compan[D]y you keep
[G]Don't you [C]see how [G]you bring [D]it all on
You can't [C]trust [G]everybody,
can't [D]read people's [G]minds
You [C]come home to find
[G]everything [D]gone
[Bm]There's so many mistakes,
all [D]so [Am]easily made
Then they [Bm]topple on off of [D]the shelf
[C]You [D]bet[Bm] ter go careful now[D],
[Am]see what goes [C]on
[Am]You had [Bm]better look [D]out for [Am]yours[C]elf
[Am]Again[C]
[G]Hey![D][G][C][G][D]
[C][G][D][G][C][G][D]
[C][G][D][G][C]
[G][D][C][G][D][G]
[C][G][D][G][G]
