[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Light it up
like [D]the city at night
[C]Old dark bones [G]in the city[Am]
[G]Old Walt Whitman and bor
[D]rowed alcohol
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
[G]We drove fast shaking all [D]the way
Like the [C]waves in Californi[Am]a
[G]Sorry I never [D]know what
to say at all
[C][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Caught in a whirl[G]wind[Em]
Dry as a [G]bone
And [D]I don't think that I can m[C]ake it
On [G]my own
On my [C]own, [G]my own
On [C]my own, [G]my own
On [C]my own, my [Am]own

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][D][G][D]

[G][D][C][Am][G][D][C]
[Am][G][D][C][Am]

[Verse 4]
[G]Burning love man [D]it never ends
I [C]tried but I couldn't make [Am]it
Yeah your [G]paperback lovers could
[D]never pay the bills
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
[G]Worn it once and then let [D]it go
Or [C]you may never [Am]shake [G]it
End up drinking [D]too much and
pop a pill
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
Loose like a [G]feather[Em]
And left here [G]alone
And I [D]don't think that I can [C]make it
On [G]my own
On my [C]own, [G]my own
On my [C]own, [G]my own
On my [C]own, my own
