VERSE 1
G                   C
I can see it in the air
D                   C                   G
Every word was like a smoke from a cigarette
                         C
You were blowin' in your hands
D                       C
The heater broke in the Oldsmobile
 
 
PRE CHORUS
        G              C  D C
And the light in your eyes
G              C    D C
Alone on the freeway
 
 
VERSE 2
G                     C
I was stranded in the bed
D                          C                G
You were listening to "The Dark Side of the Moon"
                        C
I could barely see your eyes
D               C
Psilocybin in a hotel room
 
 
PRE CHORUS
        G             C     D C
And the light in your eyes
    G            C     D C
The waves on the ceiling
 
 
CHORUS
             C/G         G            Em D

You werе tired of Tacoma
D                 C              G
I was tired of believing we were right
                   C
Losing every other friend
D                      C
Finding nothing in the afterlife
 
 
PRE CHORUS
        G             C     D C
But the light in your eyes
G          C        D C
Alone on a feeling

You're crying for your kids

Catch a crack in the windshield shinin'
 
 
PRE CHORUS
