DA
How did your past get stuck in a pawnshop
GD
Seems everything you owned is held in hock
GDA
At the only store open on this whole downtown block
GAD
On a shelf next to records and pistols, I found your old guitar
BmA
I saw your Chevy Nova down at the salvage yard
G
We got heartaches all around
D
Got miles of rusted towns
GA
I sit back and wonder how it all slipped through your hands
G
Factories crumble away
DBm
Like the long gone glory days
GAD
Of a broken heart land
Down in the alley by the warehouse
I found a painting on a wall that you did
You wrote your name in letters six feet high
So there's no mistaking this is where you lived
The dreams you had, thought they would all come true
But they just faded out like this old picture you drew
Chorus
Bridge:
F#mD
So I threw your old guitar off the bridge into the river
BmA
Driftwood taking on water slipping away
Solo
Chorus
