VERSE 1

            G                     C/G    G
Leave the house, your lover and children

         Em                         C/G  G
Take the car, drive it down to the ocean

           G                               C/G  G
Cut your cards, burn the letters you were given

            Em                             C/G   G 
With every word, they swore true love was hidden 

      Am7                            C/G           G
Tear apart your black suit, cut your hair to its roots

           Em/B                        C/G       G
Smoke your last cigarette, one last comforting breath,



CHORUS 1

         C/G             Em
Then you howl down that road

                  G               D/F#            Em 
Where all your brothers and your sisters wouldn't go

         Am/D       G/B             C
Dream of girls that made you feel fifteen

          Am7                  G/B       C
With the palest skin and her mother's sympathy

          D3             G
But that trail remains unseen.

C/G   G     Em    Am7  C/G  G
Woo - oo .. woo - oo - oo - oo



VERSE 2

          G                          C/G   G 
Take the urn, spread its ash on the garden

       Em                          C/G   G
Every leaf will carry her love in summer

          G                        C/G   G
Turn the dial, let the long wave flutter

           Em                         C/G  G
Fighting static and song beneath the ether

       Am7                          C/G          G
Under clear crescent moon, you hum along out of tune

      Em/B                            C/G        G
Every doubt is erased, spills out the car into space



CHORUS 2

         C/G             Em
Then you howl down that road,

                  G               D/F#            Em
Where all your brothers and your sisters wouldn't go

        C/G             G
As the fields turn to coast

          G         D/F#               Em
Let the water scare away all of your ghosts

        Am/D          G/B        C
Of the girls that you held at seventeen

           Am7               G/B      C
They had skinny waists and teenage liberty

     D3                         G
All these things that you have seen

Ab|-----------5----
Eb|--3--3/7--------

C/G   G     Em    Am7  C/G  G
Woo - oo .. woo - oo - oo - oo



VERSE 3

      C/G          Em
Every star, every stone

       G                C/G
Every soul you'll never know

         C/G              G
Spiraled out that great spark

           G                 D/F#           Em
To let us know that once we weren't so far apart



CHORUS 3

          Am/D       G/B             C
Like the girls that made you feel sixteen

           Am7              G/B              C
How your brother's t-shirts hung above her knees

            D3                  G
All these things that you have seen

Ab|-----------5----
Eb|--3--3/7--------

C/G   G     Em    Am7  C/G  G
Woo - oo .. woo - oo - oo - oo
