Gmaj7 & G
I read the pages about me
Em
In her autobiography
C                          G
They were brief and to the point
Gmaj7 & G
A flash, while you are getting dressed
Em
A memory that needs to be repressed
C                         G
I'll just wait until it's over



Gmaj7 & G
Since you've gone away
Am      D   Am            D  
I never know just what to say
Gmaj7 & G
Since you've gone away
Am      D   Am            D  
I never know just what to say



C
Cause I like cars more than telephones
           G
Your voice in my ear makes me feel so alone
            C
Tonight I'm gonna drive

The silver moon is shining bright
         G
Over the interstate

God saying hurry don't be late
         Am
Soon the sun will rise

That's when the romance dies
             D
And I'm just tired of running around



Gmaj7 & G
I walked to get the mail today
Em
I guess your letter never came
C                     G
I'll just check again tomorrow
Gmaj7 & G
A flash while you are getting dressed
Em
A Memory that needs to be repressed
C                               G
I'll just wait without saying a word



Gmaj7 & G
Since you've gone away
Am      D   Am            D  
I never know just what to say
Gmaj7 & G
Since you've gone away
Am      D   Am            D  
I never know just what to say



C
Cause I like cars more than telephones
           G
Your voice in my ear makes me feel so alone
            C
Tonight I'm gonna drive

The silver moon is shining bright
         G
Over the interstate

God saying hurry don't be late
         Am
Soon the sun will rise

That's when the romance dies
             D                        D/B7     D     D/G
And I'm just tired of running around



D                      C
But fuck it I love you even if

I'm gonna feel like shit
              G
By the time I get to you

Now the sky is turning blue
               C
The stars they disappear

One by one as the daylights nears
               G
And yes you're in my head

But that doesn't make you here
              C
And I've lost all my friends

But you're the one I miss the most
            G
And now I'm almost there

Yeah I'm almost to the coast
    Am
And if I had any notion
                 D
Of how I'm gonna drive my car across

the Atlantic Ocean, 
       G
I'd be fucking set.
