Album: "Childish Things"
Capo 1st fret
C
Picked you up in Pocatello
F
In some truck stop parking lot
C
Out beside that burned up Volvo
G
With the smoking engine shot
C
And you just left that Volvo lying
F
You never gave it half a thought
C G C
Faithless, fine, and gone
C
You said you came from Randolph
F
Up across the Wasatch Range
C
You kept talking clear to Salt Lake
G
Liked to drove us all insane
C
But now I?m flying down
F
That four lane highway screaming out your name
C G C
Faithless, fine, and gone
F C F G
Batten down the hatches I can hear my grandma say
C
Boy you like to play with matches
G C
Gonna burn yourself someday
C
I?m gonna haul on back to Denver
F
Just as soon as I get through
C
And I?m burnt down to smoldering embers
G
But I guess I can make do
C
And now I hear some guy that used to
F
Manage some band I never heard of
C
Is trying to manage you
C G C
Faithless, fine, and gone
F C F G
Batten down the hatches I can hear my grandma say
C
Boy you like to play with matches
G C
Gonna burn yourself someday
