Tom: E
E
Well the phone broke the silence, like the screaming of a siren
G#m
And I just sat beside it, took another drag on my cigarette
A B
I swore I'd never smoke again, and I watched it rain
[Verse 2]
E
I knew that it was you, calling just to prove that you were
G#m
Strong as you could be
A B
And you could get along without me any time, and any way
[Chorus]
E
I just stare through the door screen, watch the cars come down the pike
G#m
Their lights against the sky, like a Drive-In movie
A B
On a country road, that I seen before
C#m
Never like the first time
[Verse 3]
E
Blue lights on the dashboard, songs on the radio
G#m
And how were you to ever know, how much I loved you so
A B
You thought that I was only dreaming
[Verse 4]
E
What a surprise it must have been, to realize I was one of them
G#m
Not a king, but just a man, not an angel, hardly a friend
A B
And not someone you could believe in
[Chorus]
E
I just stare through the door screen, watch the cars come down the pike
G#m
Their lights against the sky, like a Drive-In movie
A B
On a country road, that I seen before
C#m
Never like the first time
[Interlude]
E, G#m, A, B
[Verse 5]
E
And out across the rugged hills, the dust blows, the wind wails
G#m
Sun bleached skulls and empty shells, broken men with tales to tell
A B
And I would be one of them
[Verse 6]
E
And how are we to ever know, how far it's gonna go
G#m
You fall in love and that's the road, you travel til you can't no more
A B
And then you just turn around again
[Chorus]
E
I just stare through the door screen, watch the cars come down the pike
G#m
Their lights against the sky, like a Drive-In movie
A B
On a country road, that I seen before
C#m
Never like the first time
