INTRO: G Broken yolk in western sky D CAm My stomach turned, my mouth went dry___ G D And I knew I'd never know fear before G I pressed my palms into the seat D CAm With one last look at you next to me___ G D I kicked open the sliding door CHORUS: C G And I threw myself out on the road C G Torn flesh and broken bones Em A And in the shoulder's patchy grass C G I faded into your past I know it was a cowardly thing to do D CAm And that an explanation is not an excuse___ G D I just need you to understand G My love is like some kind of greed D C Am Of equal portions 'want' and 'need___' G D And I cannot divorce the two CHORUS: C G But I could not sleep at all C G With all the rumble strip close calls Em A In the gravel and scattered trash C G Em I faded into your past BRIDGE: G When you think twice Am C Em You arrive at the same conclusions G And it's bad advice D C Only if you use it INSTRUMENTAL: G D C Am G D C Am G CHORUS: C G And then you disappeared from view C G And you became somebody new Em A Near the exit's overpass C G I faded into your past C G Yes, I faded into your past C G Yes, I faded into your past
