[Intro]

A/E G#m C#m B A

[Verse]

A/E G#m

Stuck in traffic on my way

C#m B A

To no particular place

A/E G#m

No agenda, no master plan

C#m B A

No important dates

A/E G#m

No reason to be alive at all

C#m B A

As far as I can tell

A/E G#m

Except for one small detail

G#m C#m

Like a distant ringing bell

A/E G#m

And it keeps on calling out to me

C#m G#m

Like a lost forgotten lover

A/E G#m

So I blast off down the shoulder

F#m A A/E G#m C#m B A

To go looking for the other

[Instrumental]

A/E G#m C#m B A

[Verse 2]

A/E G#m

Driving up the coast

C#m B A

Past the surfers and the seals

A/E G#m

All them lonely rich folks

C#m B A

Who only know how to steal

A/E G#m

Science can cure sickness

C#m B A

But what can cure my soul

A/E G#m

It won't be long before I'm gone

C#m A

Laying in some hole

C#m A/C#

So I find an ancient payphone

B G#m

To tell my mother I love her

A/E

But she ain't home

G#m C#m B A/E G#m C#m B A

She must have gone out looking for the other

[Instrumental]

A/E G#m C#m B A

[Verse]

A/E G#m

Pull up off the highway

C#m B A

The moon is looking wicked good

A/E G#m

I throw my keys into the breeze

C#m B A

And get lost in the woods

A/E G#m

I think about my old man

C#m B A

And the mystery of time

A/E G#m

When suddenly between the trees

C#m A

I see the lake of fire

C#m

So I jump right in

And take a swim

C#m A C#m

In this pool of unknown colours

A/E G#m G#m A/E A/E G#m C#m B A

And as I swim I begin to brim with visions of the other

[Instrumental]

A/E G#m C#m B A

[Verse]

A/E G#m

Found my car a few days later

C#m B A

After I came to

A/E G#m C#m B A

Her name was Blue Subaru 19 8 2

A/E

I punched the clutch

G#m

And kick the gas

C#m B A

And take off in a burst

A/E G#m

Well it wasn't long before the gas was gone

C#m A

And we were overcome from thirst

[Outro]

C#m A

So we found a dusty truckstop

G#m F#m

Above the vultures hovered

A/E

And I thought it was the end

G#m

But then I thought again

C#m

And that was when I took the hand of the other
