[Intro]

A C#m D E x2

[Verse]

A                                C#m
I saw a crash on the interstate
D                                        E
It left a feeling I could not shake
A                            C#m
Just a name in a database who
D                  E
must be notified
D                                   E
It's not a phone call I wanna make
C#m                             F#m
A stranger answers, I hesitate
C#m                                  F#m
Got some bad news that couldn't wait
D                        E
Are you sitting down?

[Verse]

A                                           C#m
Her bathrobe hangs on the bedroom door
D                                           E
Though she's been dead for a year or more
A                                  C#m
He buried her by the sycamore
D                                  E
So that he could keep her close
D                                     E
It broke his heart and it made him old
C#m                         F#m
Tries to rebuild but it just erodes
C#m                                    F#m
Some people say that's the way it goes
D                                E
But he don't feel that way

[Harmonica]

A C#m D E x2

[Verse]

A                                  C#m
Get too drunk and you can't perform
D                                        E
Something dies when a star is born
A                                   C#m
I spread my anger like Agent Orange
D                    E
I was indiscriminate
D                                     E
Yeah, I met Lou Reed and Patty Smith
C#m                             F#m
It didn't make me feel different
C#m                             F#m
I guess I lost all my innocence
D                     E
Way too long ago

[Harmonica]

A C#m D E x2

[Verse]
A                                     C#m
She called my bluff and she won the fight
D                                    E
I ran outside in the hot twilight
A                                C#m
I had a lighter that didn't light
D                                E
Well I know I shouldn't smoke
D                                  E
I was going, I was free to leave
C#m                              F#m
Walking fast down the Bowery
C#m                             F#m
Tears in my eyes so I couldn't see
D                                      E
But I made my way back home

[Outro]

A C#m D E

C#m D E
C#m F#m Dm A
