VERSE:
 Am                                    F
Starin' through a spiderweb where the windshield used to be
  G                                 E
What's left of the dashboard, the smell of gasoline
       Am                            F
I can just make out one neon light south off through the trees
    G                               E
My feet took over walkin' 'fore my mind caught up with me
 F                                  Am
When I walked in my tab was already open
     F                                     E
My drink was poured and my cigarette was smokin'

        Am                       F
Had to pull myself together and ask to use the phone

The waitress smiled a wicked grin,
