D 12 12 0 2 5
[A]E [12]10 [12]9 [3]0 [2]0 [5]3
D Asus4 Em7 G x2
[D]Piles and piles of [Asus4]old magazines
[Em7]Windows locked up and [G]hidden from the street.
[D]In a crawlspace, for[Asus4]gotten money.
People t[Em7]ensing and waiting to come[G] back home.
You can [D]feel the [Asus4]tension in the h[Em7]ouse
the m[G]oment you walk through the[D] door.[Asus4]
Sudden ma[Em7]dness allow me i[G]n again.
When the [D]first train [Asus4]flies past the [Em7]house, miles away[G6]
the screaming [D]starts and it feels like a [Asus4]minefield,
the n[Em7]eighbors silently hi[G]ding in the shadows.
There's a [D]person locked in, be[Asus4]hind that door -
Don't let[Em7] anybody catch you [G]turning the handle.
It's a [D]long, long n[Asus4]ight. It's going to be an [Em7]awful and lonely ni[G]ght.
Well...you can [D]blot out the years and [D/Db]abandon the jungle
[E7]Cover up the tapes and re[G]fuse to look back,
but your [D]own right [Asus4]hand is not gonna [Em7]save your[G] soul.
You have been [D]followed! Ah, the mec[D/Db]hanics.
All the r[E7]eactions that seem to a[G]ttach themselves.
It's been a [D]very very very long [Asus4]year and it's gonna be an [Em7]even longer [G]night.
And then a screen door [D]slams; the windows [Asus4]break.
A woman just [Em7]jumps and scr*pes at the [G]hood of a car.
When the [D]car backs up into a [Asus4]streetlight, all of the n[Em7]eighbors call the c[G]ops.
She falls o[D]ff and the car spee[Asus4]ds away
Headed for the [Em7]border of a far away [G]state.
It's gonna [D]mean an hour of freedom with the [Asus4]radio and quarter-filled gas [Em7]tank.
And a quarter filled g[G]as tank
With the high beams [D]on
And the windows down[Asus4]...[A]
D Asus4 Em7 G x2
