[C]
I waited too long to write this down
[Ab] The startling [B] sensation [Am] is fading
The sweet, sweet burn of the first [D] drink of the night under a
[F]
Knowing that you're gonna get [C] away with it
You were a good man before you knew it
And I'm [F] not vain enough to think that I'd have been good for you if [A] I'd stayed
[F] In the current of your life
I was an eyelash [C] in the shipping lane
Now I'm so scared about mystery
[Am] Fear I smell [G] extinction and the faults of this [D] novocaine age coming on
[C] I miss the smell of mystery
[Am]
Reverb leaking [G] out of tavern doors and not [F] knowing how the sounds were made
So [C] I left home and faked my ID
[Bb] I fucked every man that I wanted to be
I was [Am] so stupid then
Why [Ab] should mystery give [G] its life for me?
Maybe [C] I'm afraid, but it's not your fault
Maybe I should go
[Em] home alone [F] tonight
Maybe [C] I'm afraid, but it's not your fault
Maybe I should go
[Em] home alone [F] tonight

[C] Now I see you in our old home where I'm always scared to go
[Am] Those thirty garbage miles [G] making wet cigarette butts and used [F] tires
To be poor is the anchor that makes us so sure
[C] Your sandy voice across my brow, [Gm] you haven't aged a day
Is [F] it because you took a shortcut that makes people say you're crazy?
Is it true?
You're a time traveler, you
Is it true?
I've seen crazy too
[C] Well can it be a comfort [Em] between us?
[Am] Because I never want to know [F] for sure
Maybe [C] I'm afraid, but it's not your fault
Maybe I should go [Em]
home alone [F] tonight
Maybe [C] I'm afraid, but it's not your fault
Maybe I should go [Em]
home alone [F] tonight

[C] Now I write this in a pale town
[A] Where excitement [G] is a yellow curve
[F] My dream awake leaps through my window from [Am] the highway
You turn my head, set the brake too late
[F] Release the tears, electric tongues, the crash
[D]
Comes, comes, comes
[F] Pours down my public face
[Am] Behind a reservoir of hollow bones
[F]
Forms two private [D]
lakes
K-K [F]-State, baby
[E] Ah [Am]-ah, oh baby, it's [C] so [F] easy
[E] You haven't gained a day
[Am] Two self-fulfilling prophecies
[F]
Don't even have each other
[D]
Nothing you would ever [F] get away with it
