C                                                 C7M
Waitress has a look upon her face that says she?s torn
          C                                                 C7M           
She smokes cheap menthol cigarettes, wears scars of  Forgone wars
     F7M             G                        C
Away cross the enemy lines in this passenger seat.


Riff x1


       F                G               Am 
She?ll make it home in time to see you rise
                F                       G                      C 
She will just selfishly sit there and wait for you to save her life

C                                                      C7M
She holds her steering wheel and drives us round this place
         C                                             C7M
I know that she?s not saying much cause silence makes brave as we,
 F7M            G                                 C
Listen to radio news about how England?s lost its faith

Riff x1

C                                                C7M
She?ll spend her days avoiding preachers on the street she?s that
 C                              C7M
Unholy radical, nameless body breached in this,
 F7M                 G                                   C
Unfriendly action of avoiding things that she don?t wanna know

       F                G               Am

riff x1

F                           G          Am
Your eyes are dead, you?re body just divides home, so cold
    C7M                                 F          G             C
And you wait, you?re so much colder and this is the evening we?ve spent
     F          G             C
And I?ll never know what she meant
      F          G        C  C7M Am       F    
But bodies of water and old cold beds and this is the evening
