Capo 1
GHe's lying on the double bed acting self-assuredC  
DIn his T-shirt and his underwear he's barely said a wordG  
GShe pours a cup of coffee lights the day's first cigarettCe
DPicks up the phone and call her kids from the motel kitchGenette
GThere's two guys moving slowly in the room across the halCl
DBoth their heads are pounding from last night's aGlcohol
GThey met in a chat room then they took it hereC  
DThey both go by pseudonyms and soon they'll disappearG  
FCheaters, liars, outlaws, Cand fallen angGels
FCome looking for the gracCe from which they fellG  
FThey hold on to each otheCr in the darknessG  
BmCause the morninF#mg light is hell at the GCamelot BmMotelF#m  G  
GHe met her at the pool hall the guys told him she was touCched
DNow she's ranting and she's raving about the Devil, ChrisGt and such
GHe's thinking about the highway and the way she begged last nightC
