Classic Cars

Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
[G]She was a r[D]eal royal lady,
true [G]patron of the arts
She [A]said the best country singers
die in the [Bm]back of classic [G]cars
So if I [D]ever got too hungry
[G]for a suitcase or guitar
To think of [D]them all [A]alone [D]in the dark
[Bm]So I laid [D]some nights beside her
in a [G]bed made for a queen
[A]She said I kissed her different,
that all the [Bm]men her age w[G]ere mean
Gave me [D]anything I wanted,
oh, the [G]generosity
I [D]took all that I [A]could, it was [D]free
Now the sky is a torn up denim and the
[G]clouds are just splattered paint
It?s [A]a room I?m renovating,
it?s a [Bm]name I got [G]to change
If I get [D]out of California I?m going
[G]back to my home state
To tell them [D]all that I [A]made
a mis[D]take

[Verse 2]
And I keep looking [G]for that
blindfold faith
Lighting candles to a [A]cynical saint
Who wants the [D]last laugh at the [A]fly
trapped in the [Bm]windowsill [G]tape
You can [A]go right out of your
mind trying to escape
From the pan[D]icked [A]para[F#]dox of d[G]ay to day
If you can?t under[A]stand something then it?s

[Interlude 1]
best to be afraid
[D][A][Bm][G][D][A][Bm][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]The whole world,
it loves you if [G]you are a chic chameleon
[A]Intersecting circles she could
[Bm]hang with [G]anyone
[D]But when conducting business she would
[G]lie about where she?s from
Saying, [D]"Life is how it [A]is, not [D]how it was"[A]
[D]I learned to listen,
felt like [G]I was back at school
[A]She?d talk forever about the
[Bm]phases of [G]the moon
Saying, [D]"Everything is a cycle,
you?ve got to [G]let it come to you
And when it [D]does,
you will [A]know what to [D]do"
[A]Without eve[D]n knowing I
guess I [G]took her advice
[A]Painted her front door,
it seemed a [Bm]suitable [G]goodbye
[D]It?s not that often but I
[G]think of her sometimes
Just something [D]quaint,
a couple [A]ships in the [D]night

[Verse 4]
And they keep moving at a [G]glacial pace
Turning circles in a [A]memory maze
I made a [D]new cast of the [A]death mask that
is going to [Bm]cov er my [G]face
I had to [A]change the combination
to the [D]safe
[A]Hide [D]it all be[A]hind [F#]a wall, let [Bm]people [G]wait
And never [A]trust a heart that is so bent

[Outro 1]
it can?t break
[D][A][Bm][G][D][A][D][G]
