Big Black Car

[Am] [A] [C]

 

You [Am]were a [G]phonograph, I [F]was a [C]kid

I sat [Am]with an ear close, just [F] [C]listening

I was there [Am]when the rain [G]tapped her way [F]down you [C]face

You were a [Am]miracle I [C]was just [F]holding your [C]space

 

[Am] [Am7]

 

Well time [Am]has a way [C]of throwing it [F]all in your [C]face

The past [Am], she is [G]haunted, the [F]future is [C]laced

[Am]Heartbreak, you [G]know, drives a [F]big black [C]car

Swear [Am7]I was in the [G]back seat, just [F]minding my own [C]

 

[Am] [Am7] [Am] [A]

 

And [G]through the glass, the corn crows come like [C]rain

They won't stay [G], they won't [Am]stay

For [Em]too long [C]now

This could be [G]all that we [Am]know

Of [D]love and [Dm]all

 

Well [Am]you were a [C]dancer and [F]I [C]was a rag

The [Am]song in my [G]head, well [A]was [F]all that I [C]had

[Am]Hope was a [G]letter I [F]never could [C]send

Well [Am]love was a [C]country we [F]couldn't [C]defend

 

[Am] [C] [F] [C]

[Am] [C] [F] [C]

 

And [G]through the [F]carnival we watch them [C]go round and [G]round

All we knew of [F]home was just a [C]sunset and some [G]clowns

 

Well [Am]you were a [G]magazine, [F]I was a [C]plain jane

Just [Am]walking the [G]sidewalks all [F]covered in [C]rain

[Am]Love to just [G]get into [F]some of your [C]stories

Me [Am]and [G]all of my [F]plain jane [C]glory

Just [Am]me and [G]all of my [F]plain jane [C]glory
