When you Dfind what matters is what you Am7feel,
It Carrives and it Ddisappears.
Drivin' Ddown 70-44 Am7highway,
There's a beach there known for Ccancer waiting to Dhappen.

The news Ctravels slower than a ten-second Dbuzz.

And it's hard enough soakin' up billboard signs,
They scorch and drown alive, never knowing why.
The levee gates are open wide,
There's a cough in the water and it's runnin' into town.
Bright eyes don't change, stay the same,
There must be an answer for what keeps it going wrong.
  EmBut only Gyou'll ever Fknow,
  EmAs day by Gday disapFpears.
  EmOnly Fyou'll ever Gknow, only you'll ever Fknow,
  EmAs day by Gday disapFpears,
  EmOnly Fyou ever Dknow.Am7  C  D
