One Headlight
The Wallflowers
Intro: | G | D | F# | Bm A | (2 times)
G D
So long ago, I don't remember when
F# Bm A
That's when they say I lost my only friend
G D
Well, they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
F# Bm A
As I listened through the cemetery trees
| G | D | F# | Bm A |
G D
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
F# Bm A
The long broken arm of human law
G D
Now it always seemed such a waste, she always had a pretty face
F# Bm A
I wondered how she hung around this place
| G | G | F# | F# |
G D
Hey, come on try a little. Nothing is forever
Em A
There's got to be something better than in the middle
G D
Me and Cinderella put it all together
Em A G | D | F# | Bm A |
We can drive it home with one headlight
G D
She said it's cold, it feels like Independence Day
F# Bm A
And I can't break away from this parade
G D
But there's got to be an opening somewhere here in front of me
F# Bm A
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
G D
And I seen the sun up ahead at the county line bridge
F# Bm A
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
G D
We'll run until she's out of breath, she ran until there's nothin' left
F# Bm A
She hit the end, it's just her window ledge
| G | G | F# | F# |
G D
Hey, come on try a little. Nothing is forever
Em A
There's got to be something better than in the middle
G D
Me and Cinderella put it all together
Em A G
We can drive it home with one headlight
| G | D | F# | Bm A | (2 times)
G D
Well, this place is old, it feels just like a beat up truck
F# Bm A
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
G D
Well, it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes, this place is always such a mess
F# Bm A
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
G D
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
F# Bm A
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
G D
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
F# Bm A
I think her death, it must be killin' me
| G | G | F# | F# |
G D
Hey, hey, hey, come on try a little. Nothing is forever
Em A
There's got to be something better than in the middle
G D
Me and Cinderella put it all together
Em A G
We can drive it home with one headlight
| G | D | Em | A | (repeat and fade)
