 The lie and the promise, the great escape artist
     C            G              C                  G
 The weed in your garden in that place youre still guarding

 With loneliness next to me  feels its misery  nursing another black eye
        C                     G
 On the New Jersey turnpike  counting the headlights

 Those cars just like days pass me by
