G5                              D5                             C5      A5
Broken yolk in western sky, my stomach turned, my mouth went dry
           G5                 D5
I knew I'd never known fear before
  G5
I pressed my palms into the seat
     D5                             C5      A5
Took one last look at you next to me
         G5                 D5         C5                       G5
I kicked open the sliding door and I threw myself out on the road
C5                     G5   G5    E5                   A5
Torn flesh and broken bones in the gravel and scattered trash;
  C5               G5
I faded into your past.
G5
I know it was a cowardly thing to do and that
   D5                       C5      A5
An explanation is not an excuse
G5                       D5          G5
I just want you to understand that love is only a type of greed
   D5                        C5       A5
Of equal portions want and need
        G5                  D5         C5                  G5
And you cannot divorce the two and I could not sleep at all
             C5                  G5   G5    E5                A5
With all the rumble strip close calls in the gravel and patchy grass;
  C5               G5
I faded into your past.
