     Em            Bm     G         C
  an-gel broke her wing oh you poor thing

     Am         Em         D          Am
 the hum of the motor gave way to the tick tick

     Em             Bm            G         C
     ticking of the clock and the rattle of springs

     Am             D         Am          D7
 the Buick's in the drive its good to be alive

VERSE 2:

  it isn't very much, but for 
     now its home
   a room in the shadow of a 
     funny lookin' man on the 
     phone to the bank about 
   a default loan
   I thank you very much
  ta ta we'll be in touch

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:

where 
     D         G        Bm           C
     you, came from and act like you tried

     Am              Em          C           G
 cuz some things are better kept deep down inside

     D          Em              C --------- Em Am
 but you're not driving you're along for the ride

     Am               D
just checking out the scene

     Am            D
 and taking in the green
