[D5]Every night my dream's the same
Same old city with a different name
[Gadd9]Men are coming to take me away
[D5]Don't know why but I know I can't stay
[D5]There's a weight that's pressing down
Late at night I can hear the sound
[Gadd9]Even the noise you make when you sleep
[D5]Can't see across the river so deep
[Asus4]They know my name 'cause I [D]told it to them
But they [B]don't know where and [D5]they don't know when
It's coming, when it's coming[D5]
[D5]There's a fear I get so deep
Knew the sentence before I could speak
[Gadd9]Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohhh[D5]
[Asus4]They know my name 'cause I [D]told it to them
But they [B]don't know where and [D5]they don't know when
It's [Gadd9]coming, or whe[D5]re but it's com[Gadd9]ing
Keep the car [D5]running
[D5]If some night I don't come home
Please don't think I've left you alone
The [Gadd9]same place animals go when they die
[D5]Can't climb across a mountain so high
The [Gadd9]same city where I go when I sleep
[D5]Can't swim across a river so deep
[Asus4]They know my name 'cause I [D]told it to them
But they [B]don't know where and [D5]they don't know when
It's [Gadd9]coming, oh whe[D5]n is it coming [Gadd9]
Keep the car [D5]running
Keep the car [D5]running[Gadd9]
Keep the car [D5]running[Gadd9]
Keep the car [D5]running
