wrong.

1.    i stopped to fill my          car up
      the car      felt good        that day
      i didn't     know where i was going
      but it       felt good for    a change
      a five and a pocket full of   silver
      i paid the   lady no          change
      then it      started to       piss down
      started      driving         again
2.      man round    forty in the     back seat
        must have    stepped in when i was empty
        so why's he  sat there        just waiting
        likely to    smash my         face in
        he had a     bag full of      money
        said just    drive me         away
        i didn't     know where i was going
        but it       felt good to be  strange   
3.      curi_________osity is         over
        stepped      down from        the car
        he pulled a  gun from his     jacket
        said i was   going           to die
        it gives me  so mucg          satisfaction
        to watch     you beg          and cry
        well i just  made up this     story
        to get your  attention makes  me smile

   C                            Am                   F/C
1.    Then I      looked up and looked in the mirror behind me
2.    And still I look up and   look in the   mirror behind me
3.    I never     looked up or  looked in the mirror behind me

After this kelly play a long solo that i haven't worked out yet, but on
the video he gradually makes his way up the fretboeard using mainly the
D and G strings, try it yourselves to see if you come up with anything.
 The lastfew bars are as follows.

Those bends on the G string get slower each time and the last one is a
long slow bend up and then bent back down, and the last two notes
played are played slowly and allowed to ring.  A piano play a little
riff right at the end so try appregiating some chords from the song to
get the sound if you like.
