VERSE 1
Leave the hoGuse, your lover and chC/GildrenG  
Take the Emcar, drive it down to the oC/GceanG  
Cut your caGrds, burn the letters you were gC/GivenG  
With every wEmord, they swore true love was hC/Gidden G  
Tear aAm7part your black suit, cut your C/Ghair to its roGots
Smoke your Em/Blast cigarette, one last comC/Gforting brGeath,
CHORUS 1
Then you C/Ghowl down that rEmoad
Where all your broGthers and your sD/F#isters wouldn't Emgo
Dream of Am/Dgirls that G/Bmade you feel fiCfteen
With the pAm7alest skin and her moG/Bther's symCpathy
But that tD3rail remains unGseen.

VERSE 2
Take the uGrn, spread its ash on the gC/GardenG  
Every lEmeaf will carry her love in sC/GummerG  
Turn the dGial, let the long wave flC/GutterG  
Fighting stEmatic and song beneath the eC/GtherG  
Under cAm7lear crescent moon, you hum aC/Glong out of tGune
Every Em/Bdoubt is erased, spills out the C/Gcar into spGace
CHORUS 2
Then you C/Ghowl down that rEmoad,
Where all your broGthers and your sD/F#isters wouldn't Emgo
As the fC/Gields turn to coGast
Let the waGter scare D/F#away all of your ghEmosts
Of the gAm/Dirls that you G/Bheld at sevCenteen
They had skAm7inny waists and teG/Benage libCerty
All tD3hese things that you have sGeen

Every C/Gstar, every sEmtone
Every sGoul you'll never C/Gknow
Spiraled C/Gout that great spGark
To let us kGnow that once we wD/F#eren't so far aEmpart

Like the gAm/Dirls that mG/Bade you feel sixCteen
How your brAm7other's t-shirts G/Bhung above her knCees

C/G C/G G G Em Em C/G C/G G

VERSE 1

G C/G G

Leave the house, your lover and children

Em C/G G

Take the car, drive it down to the ocean

G C/G G

Cut your cards, burn the letters you were given

Em C/G G

With every word, they swore true love was hidden

Am7 C/G G

Tear apart your black suit, cut your hair to its roots

Em/B C/G G

Smoke your last cigarette, one last comforting breath,

CHORUS 1

C/G Em

Then you howl down that road

G D/F# Em

Where all your brothers and your sisters wouldn't go

Am/D G/B C

Dream of girls that made you feel fifteen

Am7 G/B C

With the palest skin and her mother's sympathy

D3 G

But that trail remains unseen.

C/G G Em Am7 C/G G

Woo - oo .. woo - oo - oo - oo

VERSE 2

G C/G G

Take the urn, spread its ash on the garden

Em C/G G

Every leaf will carry her love in summer

G C/G G

Turn the dial, let the long wave flutter

Em C/G G

Fighting static and song beneath the ether

Am7 C/G G

Under clear crescent moon, you hum along out of tune

Em/B C/G G

Every doubt is erased, spills out the car into space

CHORUS 2

C/G Em

Then you howl down that road,

G D/F# Em

Where all your brothers and your sisters wouldn't go

C/G G

As the fields turn to coast

G D/F# Em

Let the water scare away all of your ghosts

Am/D G/B C

Of the girls that you held at seventeen

Am7 G/B C

They had skinny waists and teenage liberty

D3 G

All these things that you have seen

Ab|-----------5----

Eb|--3--3/7--------

Woo - oo .. woo - oo - oo - oo

VERSE 3

Every star, every stone

Every soul you'll never know

C/G G

Spiraled out that great spark

G D/F# Em

To let us know that once we weren't so far apart

CHORUS 3

Am/D G/B C

Like the girls that made you feel sixteen

Am7 G/B C

How your brother's t-shirts hung above her knees

D3 G

All these things that you have seen

Ab|-----------5----
