Intro: F# B F# F# B F# I met a little girl and I settled down F# B F# In a little house out on the edge of town F# B F# We got married and swore weʼd never part F# B F# 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 F# B And Iʼm driving a stolen car F# Down on Eldridge avenue B Each night I wait to get caught F# 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
