Verse 1:
  B           Gb Gb6     Gb
I called you
                   B     B6sus2    Bsus2  
But I'd run out of words
     B             Db      Dbsus4 Db
So I stared at the plastic
B               Gb   Gb6     Gbsus2 Gb
Collidin' with  dirt
       B          Gb Gb6     Gb
At the fast food
            B     B6sus2    Bsus2  
Sign out in Leb
     B             Db      Dbsus4 Db
I prepared for the warfare
         B           Gb   Gb6     Gbsus2 Gb
With the voice in my head

Pre-chorus:
      Ebm            Gb      Gb6    
And I thought it was strange
        B  
How the letters were placed
        Ebm    Gb
How the hiring sign
          B                  Bsus2   
Seemed to laugh in my face
    Ebm         Gb                 B  
And if you were here, you'd make a joke of it
     Ebm           Gb          B  
I'm alone, getting lost in the scope of it
          (nc)
And I see you drive in

Chorus:
(nc)     Gb              B    Gb
And your love is like an open flame
              Ebm               B        Gb
I'm a running car, and you're a closed garage
             Gb                B         Gb
Someone once told us there's a world out thеre
             Ebm            B          Gb
But we don't care enough to drive that far
            Gb        B       Gb
It's been a damn near perfect day
             Ebm         B      Gb
Just getting high at the outlet mall
            Gb               B     Gb
Most people grow up and they move away
              Ebm               B       Gb
But you don't care, and I don't mind at all

Interlude: Gb

Verse 2:
Gb                B         Gb
I got the car, you  got the bag
  Db                         Gb      Gb 
a handwritten note left from mom and dad
B  
Police scanner bouncing on the dash
                          Db       Gb
Cup of burnt coffee and a check to cash
                       B    Gb
I had the brains for a city job
    Db                     Gb     Gb 
But you got the taste of a county cop
B  
Pack of cigarettes and a round of golf
                              Db        Gb
Make a livin' workin' for the paid time off

Pre-chorus:
     Ebm          Gb
Such simple lines
     B  
They drew to make this place
       Ebm         Gb
In the interest of time
         B  
We got a whole lot to waste

Chorus:
         Gb              B    Gb
And your love is like an open flame
              Ebm           B        Gb
I'm a running car, you're a closed garage

Just getting high at the outlet mall
       Gb            B     Gb
People grow and they move away
              Ebm               B       Gb
But you don't care, and I don't mind at all

Post-chorus:
          Ebm               B       Gb
You don't care, and I don't mind at all
