[Intro]
A/E G#m C#m B A
[Verse]
A/E G#m
Stuck in traffic on my way
C#m B A
To no particular place
A/E G#m
No agenda, no master plan
C#m B A
No important dates
A/E G#m
No reason to be alive at all
C#m B A
As far as I can tell
A/E G#m
Except for one small detail
G#m C#m
Like a distant ringing bell
A/E G#m
And it keeps on calling out to me
C#m G#m
Like a lost forgotten lover
A/E G#m
So I blast off down the shoulder
F#m A A/E G#m C#m B A
To go looking for the other
[Instrumental]
A/E G#m C#m B A
[Verse 2]
A/E G#m
Driving up the coast
C#m B A
Past the surfers and the seals
A/E G#m
All them lonely rich folks
C#m B A
Who only know how to steal
A/E G#m
Science can cure sickness
C#m B A
But what can cure my soul
A/E G#m
It won't be long before I'm gone
C#m A
Laying in some hole
C#m A/C#
So I find an ancient payphone
B G#m
To tell my mother I love her
A/E
But she ain't home
G#m C#m B A/E G#m C#m B A
She must have gone out looking for the other
[Instrumental]
A/E G#m C#m B A
[Verse]
A/E G#m
Pull up off the highway
C#m B A
The moon is looking wicked good
A/E G#m
I throw my keys into the breeze
C#m B A
And get lost in the woods
A/E G#m
I think about my old man
C#m B A
And the mystery of time
A/E G#m
When suddenly between the trees
C#m A
I see the lake of fire
C#m
So I jump right in
E
And take a swim
C#m A C#m
In this pool of unknown colours
A/E G#m G#m A/E A/E G#m C#m B A
And as I swim I begin to brim with visions of the other
[Instrumental]
A/E G#m C#m B A
[Verse]
A/E G#m
Found my car a few days later
C#m B A
After I came to
A/E G#m C#m B A
Her name was Blue Subaru 19 8 2
A/E
I punched the clutch
G#m
And kick the gas
C#m B A
And take off in a burst
A/E G#m
Well it wasn't long before the gas was gone
C#m A
And we were overcome from thirst
[Outro]
C#m A
So we found a dusty truckstop
G#m F#m
Above the vultures hovered
A/E
And I thought it was the end
G#m
But then I thought again
C#m
And that was when I took the hand of the other
