[Intro]

C D D# Em

[Verse]

How are things going in the small dark movie of your life

Late at night you call your girlfriend in the morning you call your wife

In the morning you go for coffee leave town by the underpass

Bm C D D# Em

Leave whatever happened last night cigarette in a champagne glass

C D D# Em

[Verse]

The road used to go someplace you never been before

Now it's just a race track and the only prize is more

The only off-ramp is up ahead and just where ain't too clear

Bm C D D# Em

And change is a semi with smoking wheels filling the rear view mirror

C D D# Em

[Verse]

You could really use a rain coat and a pair of cool shoes

You could really use some idea of what you're gonna do

But the road keeps coming at you and you find no place to rest

Bm C D D# Em

And in these small dark movies no-one knows what's best

C D D# Em

[Solo]

Em G Bm

C D D# Em

[Verse]

So how are things going in the small dark movie of your life

Late at night you call your girlfriend in the morning you call your wife

In the morning you go for coffee leave town by the underpass

Bm C D D# Em

Leave whatever happened last night cigarette in the champagne glass

[Outro]

C D D# Em

How are things going

C D D# Em

How are things going

C D D# Em

How are things going
