 /BCmaj7/BC
and she locked the car and slipped past
D riff C Am Asus4 Am Bm F#
into rhythmic quietude lights bur - ning
 Am/BC
voice dry and hoarse
E F#* G*
i threw the screen door like a bastard back and forth
 /BCmaj7/BCD
the chimes fell over each other
riff C
i fell onto my knees
 AmAsus4AmBmF#Am/BC
the sound of the car driving off       made me feel diseased
 EGAm
 a sick shouting like you hear at the fairground
 EGAm
 now i'm picking up to put away anything of your's that's still around
 EGAm
 i don't know what to do with your clothes or your letters
 EDC/B/C/G/F#/F
it'll make a whisper out of you               
E F#* G*
she took the oldsmobile out past condor ave
 /BCmaj7
the fairground's lit
/B C D riff C
a drunk man sits by the gate she's driving through
 AmAsus4AmBmF#Am/BC
got his hat tipped bot - tle back  in between his teeth
E F#* G* /B Cmaj7
looks like he's buried in the sand at the beach
/B C D riff C
i can't think about you driving off to leave barely awake
 AmAsus4AmBmF#Am/BC
to take a lit - tle nap  while the road is straight
 EGAm
 i wish that car had never been discovered
 EGAm
they took away the bottle and the hat he was under
 EGAm
 that's the one thing that he could never do
 EDC/B/C/G/F#/F
and it'll make a whisper out of you              
E F#* G*
she took the oldsmobile out past condor ave
 /BCmaj7/BC
   cops were running around the scene
D riff C
looking for some kind of clue
 AmAsus4AmBmF#Am/BC
they never get  up - tight  when a moth gets crushed
E F#* G*
unless a light bulb really loved him very much
 /BCmaj7/BC
   i'm lying down     
D riff C
blowing smoke from my cigarette
 AmAsus4AmBmF#Am/BC
little whisper smoke  signs  that you'll never get
 EGAm
 you're in your oldsmobile driving by the moon
 EGAm
 headlights burning bright ahead of you
 EGAm
and someone's burning out, out on condor ave
 EDC/B/C/G/F#/F
trying to make a whisper out of you              
 EG
 what a shitty thing to say
 Am
 did you really mean it?
 EGAm
you never said a word to me about what passed between us
 EG
 so now i'm leaving you alone
 Am
you can do whatever the hell you want to
 EDC/B/C/G/F#/FE
 na, na, na, na, na, na, na
