intro
A C#m Bsus4 AA E D EA C#m Bsus4 AA E D Everse
A E D Ai broke free on a saturday morning , i put the pedal to the floor
A E D Aheaded north on mills avenue and listened to the engine roar
A C#m Bsus4 AA E D Emy broken house behind me and good things ahead
a girl named cathy wants a little of my time
six cylinders underneath the hood crashing and kicking aha listen to the engine whine
chorus
A E D Ai
Am going to make it through this year if it kills me
A E D Ai
Am going to make it though this year if it kills me
A C#m Bsus4 AA E D Everse
i played video games in a drunken haze
i was seventeen years young
hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue
A C#m Bsus4 AA E D Eand then cathy showed up and we hung out
trading swigs from a bottle all bitter and clean
locking eyes holding hands
twin high maintenance machines
chorus
bridge
F#m Ai drove home in the california dusk ,
F#m Ai could feel the alcohol inside of me hum
F#m Apictured the look on my stepfather’s face
D Eready for the bad things to come .
verse
i down shifted as i pulled into the driveway
the motor screaming out stuck in second gear
the scene ends badly as you might imagine
in a cavalcade of anger and fear
there will be feasting and dancing in jerusalem next year
chorus
A C#m Bsus4 AA E D E
