[Verse 1]
Bringing [D]me down[Em]
I'm running [C]aground
Blind in the [G]light of the

Passing me [Em]by
The buses [C]and semis
Plunging like [G]stones from
a slingshot on [D]Mars

[Verse 2]
[G]
But I'm here by the [C]road
Bound to the load
[Am]That I picked up in ten
thousand cafes and [D]bars[G]
Alone with the rush of the drivers
who [C]won't pick me up
[Am]The highway, the moon,

the clouds, and the stars

when all this began
[C]Who [Am]wouldn't think

[Verse 6]
twice about being there yet
[D]The[C] black-throated wind wind
[Bm]keeps on pouri[G]ng in
And it speaks of a life

You ain't gonna [G]learn what you

[Verse 8]
So I give you my [G]eyes,
[C]and all of their lie[Am]s
Please help them to learn as
