Stolen Car - Bruce Springsteen
This is not the version from the "River" album but the alternative version
from the "Tracks" album. It's got slightly different lyrics and different
chords. Enjoy!
G C D G
C (x32010@1)I found me a little girl and I settled down
D (xx0232@1) GIn (320003@1)a pretty little house, in a pretty little town
CWe (x32010@1)got married and promised never to part
D (xx0232@1) GThen (320003@1)little by little we drifted from each other's hearts
Now I'm drivin' a stolen car on a pitch-black night
D (xx0232@1) GAnd (320003@1)I'm doin' my best to make it through
C (x32010@1) GWell (320003@1)I'm just sittin' down here at the Stanton light
D (xx0232@1) GI (320003@1)wanna get caught but I never do
CAt (x32010@1)first I thought it was just restlessness
D (xx0232@1) GThat (320003@1)would fade as time went by and our love grew deep
CBut (x32010@1)in the end it was something more, I guess
D (xx0232@1) GThat (320003@1)tore us apart and made us weep
C (x32010@1) GAnd (320003@1)I'm drivin' a stolen car waitin' on that little red light
D (xx0232@1) GI (320003@1)keep tellin' myself everything's gonna be alright
C (x32010@1) GBut (320003@1)I ride by night and I travel in fear
D (xx0232@1) GThat (320003@1)in this darkness I might just disappear
D (xx0232@1) CShe (x32010@1)asked if I remembered the letters I wrote
Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1)D (xx0232@1) GWhen (320003@1)our love was young and we were bold
Bm (x24432@1) EmShe (022000@1)said last night she read those letters
F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)G (320003@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C DAnd (xx0232@1)they made her feel a hundred years old
G (320003@1) CThere's (x32010@1)a river runs by that little town
D (xx0232@1) GDown (320003@1)into the sea
CIt (x32010@1)was there in the shade I lay my body down
D (xx0232@1) GAs (320003@1)she flowed on so effortlessly
CNow (x32010@1)there's a party tonight out at county line
D (xx0232@1) GThere'll (320003@1)be dancing down at Seven Trees
CFrom (x32010@1)these banks I can see those party lights shine
D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1)GMaybe (320003@1)she's there, maybe she's looking for me
CLast (x32010@1)night I dreamed I made the call
D (xx0232@1) GI (320003@1)swore to return and stay forevermore
COnce (x32010@1)again we stood on the wedding steps at Victory Hall
D (xx0232@1) GAnd (320003@1)walked arm in arm through the chapel door
CI (x32010@1)can remember how good I felt inside
D (xx0232@1) GWhen (320003@1)the preacher said "Son, you may kiss the bride"
CBut (x32010@1)as I leaned over to touch her pretty lips
D (xx0232@1) GI (320003@1)felt it all slip away through my fingertips
C (x32010@1) GAnd (320003@1)I'm drivin' a stolen car through a pitch-black night
D (xx0232@1) GI (320003@1)keep tellin' myself everything's gonna be alright
C (x32010@1) GBut (320003@1)I ride by night and I travel in fear
D (xx0232@1) GNo (320003@1)matter what I do or where I drive
D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1)C (x32010@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D GNobody (320003@1)ever sees me when I ride by
