[F#] There's a long stretch of headlights that bend into our night
They tiptoe into truck style
and [E]
sleep in your soul
[C#m] [F#]
Volcanoes that rumble in the taxi and glow in the dark
There's camels in the driver's seat
[E]
[C#m] Slow
You hear [E] the alarm
But [F#]
[D#m] [B]
you ran out of [C#] gas
Down the [G#m] road appears
[B] The battery went dead and the [Bm] camels won't [D] reach
Your [G] [C]
last chance
[G] Check [Em] under the hood
It's [G] your [C] last chance
[G] She ain't [E] sounding [F#m] too [E] good
[Am] [D]
Last chance
[Bm] [Em]
To trust [G] a man with a star
[C]
[G] You
[C]
found the [D] last [G] chance
To take a sip of gold
[C] Hey
When
[D]
[F#]
you try to
You try to be standard I know
You try to be mobile
You [D#m] try living in a [F#] world of shit
[D#m] [E] Was
[C#m] [E]
[F#] this black busted love
Loved her
Free parts and labor
But she broke down and [D#m] died
[E]
And you gave her
[F#]
[B] This one ain't
No fuel [C#] and jet kit
Her blood's a [F#] disconnected
[B] She gets scared
And she stalls
But she just [Bm] Needs
A man who
[D]
Can't
