The Solids - Across the Overpass
[Intro]
Chords are Am C F C
e|---8--3--1--0--1--0-------------0---
B|-------------------------1--1h3-----
Am C F G
It's as simple as this, here it is, couldn't spell it out more clearly
Am C F G
There's only today and the freeway and the pain that keeps you near me
Am C F C F
The animation of sinking souls, strung along the telephone poles
It's easy to miss
[intro]
Am C
Well, you could circle the earth, the universe,
F G
but we're shadowed in the same light
Am C F G
It's coming undone, so you run, well I'm circling the drain pipe
Am C F C
An invitation to just forget, but I'm not finished yet
F
I got big plans
[Chorus]
C G Em F
Cut off the tape and undo the mat
C G Em F
Washed out and faded like a photograph
C G Em F
And I spell out your name across the overpass
Am
It's as simple as that
[intro]
[intro]
It's as simple as this, what'd I miss, I will carry to the last day
Deliver my spark through the dark to the angles in the ashtray
Saturation of hopeless needs, but as the asphalt bleeds
Curtains rise and
[chorus]
Some day you'll find me standing in your path
And I'm deep in the background of some photograph
And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass
[bridge]
A F
It's as simple as that, ohh
C Dm F
Simple's hard enough now anyway
C Dm F
Simple's hard enough now anyway
[chorus]
Some day you'll find me standing in your path
Somewhere deep in the background of some photograph x2
And you'll see your name scrawled across the overpass
[bridge]
It's as simple as that
Simple's hard enough now anyway x4
