[Intro]
A C#m D E x2
[Verse]
A C#m
I saw a crash on the interstate
D E
It left a feeling I could not shake
A C#m
Just a name in a database who
D E
must be notified
D E
It's not a phone call I wanna make
C#m F#m
A stranger answers, I hesitate
C#m F#m
Got some bad news that couldn't wait
D E
Are you sitting down?
[Verse]
A C#m
Her bathrobe hangs on the bedroom door
D E
Though she's been dead for a year or more
A C#m
He buried her by the sycamore
D E
So that he could keep her close
D E
It broke his heart and it made him old
C#m F#m
Tries to rebuild but it just erodes
C#m F#m
Some people say that's the way it goes
D E
But he don't feel that way
[Harmonica]
A C#m D E x2
[Verse]
A C#m
Get too drunk and you can't perform
D E
Something dies when a star is born
A C#m
I spread my anger like Agent Orange
D E
I was indiscriminate
D E
Yeah, I met Lou Reed and Patty Smith
C#m F#m
It didn't make me feel different
C#m F#m
I guess I lost all my innocence
D E
Way too long ago
[Harmonica]
A C#m D E x2
[Verse]
A C#m
She called my bluff and she won the fight
D E
I ran outside in the hot twilight
A C#m
I had a lighter that didn't light
D E
Well I know I shouldn't smoke
D E
I was going, I was free to leave
C#m F#m
Walking fast down the Bowery
C#m F#m
Tears in my eyes so I couldn't see
D E
But I made my way back home
[Outro]
