Intro: G# C# G# G# C# G# I met a little girl and I settled down G# C# G# In a little house out on the edge of town G# C# G# We got married and swore weʼd never part G# C# G# Then little by little we drifted from each otherʼs heart At first I thought it was just restlessness That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep In the end it was something more I guess That tore us apart and made us weep G# C# And Iʼm driving a stolen car G# Down on Eldridge avenue C# Each night I wait to get caught G# But I never do She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote When our love was young and bold She said last night she read those letters And they made her feel one hundred years old And Iʼm driving a stolen car On a pitch black night And Iʼm telling myself Iʼm gonna be alright But I ride by night and I travel in fear That in this darkness I will disappear
