Car Wreck Chords by The Devil Makes Three

_ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ He grew [F#] up in a one-horse town
[B] Wasn't much to do since [E] all them bars had [B] closed down
[E] He'd stare up to the stars [F#] sometimes when no one was around
[B] _ And he'd dream of getting out
_ [A] So he bought himself a pickup truck [B] that was covered up in rust
[A] He found a buddy for the shotgun [B] seat that was someone he could trust
[E] And they hit the gas head [F#] west out to the setting sun
When the [B] dust had cleared they were [E] gone _
[A] Well, leaving just came natural, [B] that's the way it seemed to him
[A] He'd been doing it so [B] long, that's the way he'd always been
And you can find him in some hotel room [C#m] with the television on
[E] He [B] might be high [C#m] and he'll probably ramble on
[E] You can laugh beneath the resin [C#m] lights and drink until the dawn
[A] But in the morning, in [B] the morning when you wake up he'll [E] be gone _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ So he met a girl in [F#] a town along the way
[B] She had beautiful brown eyes [E] and a place that he could stay
So he fell in love and she [F#] fell in love in kind
[B] It was so perfect [E] that of course he lost his mind
[A] He snuck out of the kitchen [B] one day before the dawn
[A] She called out after him [B] and ran across the lawn
And [E] he said some things that he didn't [F#] mean that he best be traveling on
[A]
She shed [B] some tears and he was [E] gone
_ [A] Well, leaving just came natural, [B] that's the way it seemed to him
[A] He'd been doing it so [B] long, that's the way he'd always been
And you [E] can find him [B] in some hotel room [C#m] with the television on
[E] He might be high [C#m] and he'll probably ramble on
[E] You can laugh [B] beneath the resin lights [C#m] and drink until the dawn
But in [A] the morning, _ [B] in the morning when you wake up he'll [E] be gone
_ _ [F#] _

_ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [E] Eighteen years later, fifteen [F#] hundred miles from home
[B] He can't shake her from his [E] mind, though the whiskey soaks his bones
He heads out on the back road in the [F#] middle of the night
_ [B] Head out to the meadow, you [E] know he timed that curve just right
[A] Well, some bridges you cross over [B] but the rest you've got to burn
[A] He may have lost the road [B] but I know he made his turn
As [E] we pulled him from the wreckage, [F#] I promised him a song
As [B] it was clear that he [E] was gone
_ [A] Well, leaving just came natural, [B] that's the way it seemed to him
He'd [A] been doing it so long, that's [B] the way he'd always been
And you [E] can find him in some hotel [C#m] room with the television on
[E] He might [B] be high and [C#m] he'll probably ramble on
You can laugh [B] beneath the resin [C#m] lights and drink until the dawn
But [A] in the morning, _ [B] in the morning when you wake up he'll be gone _ _
[C#m] _ _ [E] In the morning, [A] _ [B] in the morning when you wake up [E] he'll be gone _ _ _ _ _
