[G] In [D] the black seats of burned [A] out cars, in [Bm] the distant [G] Shetland Plain, the [D] ideal angels
twist [A] and turn and ask [Bm] forgiveness for future [G] mistakes.
But you [D] and I, we've been [A] through this, maybe [Bm] a hundred times [G] before.
Always [D] hitching rides [A] with strangers, I've [Bm] wondered about [G] before.
But you know [D] the summer always brought in [G] that wild and [D] reckless breeze.
And in the back seats we just tried to find some room [G] for our needs.
And in [Bm] the back seats we just [A] tried to find some [G] room to breathe.
And in [Bm] the back seats we just [D] tried to find some [G] room to breathe.
And [D] in the wild desert [A] sun, we [Bm] drove straight up through [G] the night.
We rode [D] the fever out [A] of Boston, dreamed [Bm] no California [G] lights.
But come [D] July we'll ride [A] ferris wheels [Bm] around.
[G] And if you [D] never let [A] me go, well I [Bm] will never let you [D] down.
And you know the summer always brought [Dm] in all [G] those wild and reckless breezes.
And in [D] the back seats we just tried to find some room [G] for our needs.
And in [Bm] the back seats we just [A] tried to find some room [G] to breathe.
And now in [Bm] the back seats we just [A] tried to find some [D] room to breathe.
And [F#m] these cowboys all [G] go crazy in [A] the heat.
[B] [C#m] [D] Chasing [F#m] the lights, we rode [G] the girls along.
[A] The steps and the skids, they kept dying [D] to me.
They meant nothing to me.
[G] You know [D] the summer always brought in that [G] wild and reckless breeze.
And [D] in the back seats we just tried to find some room [G] for our needs.
