[Verse 1]
CBecause your reasons Gare as cool as ice
And Cyour mind Fsomehow paid the price
AmYou'll pay it again--Gsomewhere--Fon down the Cline
GWhen you're there I'm sure you'll stare
And FI'll be beChind you
[Verse 2]
CBecause your day is a Gclock of grey hours
ACnd your smile hFas lost all it's power
AmBut sometimes, GJezebelle, Fit shines like the Csun
GWhen you're gone and when you're done
FI will be beChind you
[Verse 3]
CBecause your songs Gare so sad and tired
Because Chunger is a darkness Finside the phone wire
AmIt always has been, Git always will be FSo it seems to Cme
But that's the Gprice you pay when you say
FI will be beChind you
[Verse 4]
CBecause your Ford broke Gdown on 47
Because Ceight cylinders is yFour idea of heaven
AmYou'll get it running--Gsomeday--and you'll Fride right down the Cline
GWhen you do, I hope it's true
And FI'll ride beCside you
GWhen you do, I hope it's true
And FI'll ride beCside you
