Em Am
in our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deer's eyes
Em Am
on the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans and my lies
Bm Am Em
lonely street signs, powerlines, they keep on flashing, (flashing by)
Bm A Am G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am D Em
it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
Bm A Am G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am D Em
it's a late goodbye...
Em Am
your breath hot upon my cheek, and we crossed, that line
Em Am
you made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time
Bm Am Em
screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by
Bm A Am G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am D Em
it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
Bm A Am G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am D Em
it's a late goodbye...
Em A Am G6
the devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he's dealt us
Bm A Am G6
points at your flaming hair, and then we're playing hide and seek
Bm A Am G6
I can't breathe easy here, less our trail's gone cold behind us
Bm A Am G6
till' in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak
Bm A Am G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am D Em
it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye.
Bm A Am G6
and we keep driving into the night
Am D Em
it's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye.
