| Intro: Play riff 4x with slight variations |
| Em | G | |
| I'm an | accident |
| C | D | Em | |
| I was d | riving way too f | ast |
| G | |
| Couldn't s | top though |
| C | D | Em | |
| So I l | et the moment l | ast |
| I'm for rollin' |
| I'm for tossin' in my sleep |
| It's not guilt though |
| It's not the company I keep |
| (riff 2x) |
| People my age |
| They don't do the things I do |
| They go somehwere |
| While I run away with you |
| I got my friends |
| And I got my children too |
| I got her love |
| She's got my love too |
| (riff 2x) |
| I can't hear you |
| But I feel the things you say |
| I can't see you |
| But I see what's in my way |
| Now I'm floatin' |
| Cause I'm not tied to the ground |
| Words I've spoken |
| Seem to leave a hollow sound |
| (riff 2x) |
| On the long plain |
| See the rider in the night |
| See the chieftain |
| See the braves in cool moonlight |
| Who will love them |
| When they take another life |
| Who will hold them |
| When they tremble for the knife |
| Voicemail numbers |
| On an old computer screen |
| Rows of lovers |
| Parked forever in a dream |
| Screaming sirens |
| Echoing across the bay |
| To the old boats |
| From the city far away |
| (riff 2x) |
| Homeless heroes |
| Walk the streets of their hometown |
| Rows of zeros |
| On a field that's turning brown |
| They play baseball |
| They play football under lights |
| They play card games |
| And we watch them every night |
| Need distraction |
| Need romance and candlelight |
| Need random violence |
| Need entertainment tonight |
| Need the evidence |
| Want the testimony of |
| Expert witnesses |
| On the brutal crimes of love |
| (riff 3x) |
| I was too tired |
| To see the news when I got home |
| Pulled the curtain |
| Fell into bed alone |
| Started dreaming |
| Saw the rider once again |
| In the doorway |
| Where she stood and watched for him |
| Watched for him |
| (riff 2x) |
| I'm not present |
| I'm a drug that makes you dream |
| I'm an aerostar |
| I'm a cutlass supreme |
| In the wrong lane |
| Trying to turn against the flow |
| I'm the ocean |
| I'm the giant undertow |
| I'm the ocean |
| I'm the ocean |
| I'm the giant undertow |
| I'm the ocean |
| I'm the giant undertow |
| I'm the ocean |
| I'm the ocean |
| I'm the ocean |
| I'm the ocean |
| I'm the ocean |
| I'm the ocean |
