Tonality
EEmaj7A
Will you be my Mary Magdaline, would you be my American dream
Am
Will you mix your perfume up, from diesel fumes and gasoline
EEmaj7
Be my sweet insurgence, load the magazine
AAmB
Letʼs shoot out the lights tonight, weʼve been waiting too long for them to turn green.
Chorus:
AE
Now, take the wheel, the highwayʼs clear
Emaj7G#m
I got the throttle, now baby you steer
E
Lets squeeze every drop out of this machine
AB
The coffee, the diesel, the methamphetamines
C#mABEAAm
ʼTil this God damn rig canʼt run no faster
EBAE
Baby ainʼt we a, beautiful disaster
Stars burn their brightest, just before they burn out
We were in our prime, I know itʼs just the way of things
So if were short on years, baby weʼre long on miles
So letʼs grind the gears, and stick the needle in the red on all the dials
Chorus.
AB
You know I love to watch them angels
AEAB
Fightinʼ over you
AAmE
Heaven knows they left me... long ago
EEmaj7AAm
Oooh, la salvadora, oh, sweet catastrophe
Ahh, siren song, our captain says thereʼs nothing wrong
As I dash my ship upon your shore, a mad, drunk, and reckless troubadour
Iʼm outside here hollerinʼ at your door, begging you for more of you
Chorus.
EBAE
Baby ainʼt we a...beautiful disaster
