[Intro 1]
[G][C][F][G]
[C][F][G]

[Verse 1]
there's [C]a bright
white light
[F]to shine shine on all [G]the dim
bulbs in the crowd tonight
and there's [C]a thin yellow l[F]ine
to separate the [G]fast lane
and there's [C]a man i know,
[F]he'll take apart your engin[G]e
if you ask him right;
let's [C]empty all the minibars and
[F]leave this town in [G]flames.

[Verse 2]
[G]
he's [C]starving for [G]attention,
she's [Eb]swallowing her p[D]ride.
bitter [C]gall for bleed[G]ing ulcers,
[Eb]attitudes you can[Cm]'t ab[D]id[C]e.
a sentence [G]fragment city,
[Eb]a poor excuse for [D]a life of crime.
[C]this is not [G]a road picture,
[Eb]we are not a[D]mused (or surprised).
you don't [C]need a [F]pass[G] port to[F] know
what state you're [G]in [F].

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][G]

[Verse 3]
she [C]wore barrettes of many colors
in her many-[F]colored hair.
[G]hair.
[C]that's not the point--they only
only [F]notice what you [G]wear.
she said, [C]"the moon is a toenail,
[F]the stars are a gua[G]rdrail, my heart is a s[C]and[F]pail...
and you're toluca [G]lake."

[Verse 4]
[C]stop the traffic!
[G]bend the time!
we're [Eb]heading into [F]ter[D]ritory too [C]ugly to ex
[G]plore (but they've [Eb]both been there before).
[D]he quotes nath[C]anael west.
[G]she tries her best,
but can't [Eb]find a mouth to
[D]grin with
[C]‘cause a tragedy re[G]quires a little [Eb]greatness
to be[D]gin with...

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][G][F][G][F][G][F][G][F]
[G]

[Verse 5]
you are ill wind, [G]you blow [F]no good;
[G]a pissant under glass,
an airport [F]neighborhood.
[G]earthquake survivor,
feral youngsters smoking [F]tea.
[G]spit in your hands and see you
splinter every tree.
culver [C]city! [G]beachwood drive!
vesper aven[C]ue!
[G]hey hey! the [C]needle on the ra[G]diator
[Eb]rising as [C]the [D]road inclines.

[Verse 6]
the [C]scene is going [G]nowhere [Eb]fast;
he's [D]shooting highway signs.
she [C]carves her sorry [G]epitaph,
[Eb]a ca[D]rjack fever scrawl:
"if you [C]only live in [G]movies maybe [Eb]you
don't really live [D]at all."
you don't [G]need apass
[F]por[G]t.…[F]
