intro: riff x2


C5                                                 C5
Waitress has a look upon her face that says she?s torn
          C5                                                 C5           
She smokes cheap menthol cigarettes, wears scars of  Forgone wars
     F5             G5                        C5
Away cross the enemy lines in this passenger seat.


Riff x1


       F5                G5               A5 
She?ll make it home in time to see you rise
                F5                       G5                      C5 
She will just selfishly sit there and wait for you to save her life

C5                                                      C5
She holds her steering wheel and drives us round this place
         C5                                             C5
I know that she?s not saying much cause silence makes brave as we,
 F5            G5                                 C5
Listen to radio news about how England?s lost its faith

Riff x1

C5                                                C5
She?ll spend her days avoiding preachers on the street she?s that
 C5                              C5
Unholy radical, nameless body breached in this,
 F5                 G5                                   C5
Unfriendly action of avoiding things that she don?t wanna know

riff x1

F5                           G5          A5
Your eyes are dead, you?re body just divides home, so cold
    C5                                 F5          G5             C5
And you wait, you?re so much colder and this is the evening we?ve spent
     F5          G5             C5
And I?ll never know what she meant
      F5          G5        C5  C5 A5       F5    
But bodies of water and old cold beds and this is the evening
