Car Ride

[Intro]
 
G    C  G
 
 
[Verse]
 
 G
You arrived covered in salt
                             C
You were a wound that was weeping
        G                     D
For someone who cut you all over
  G
Our lives covered in smoke
  G
By the night as you drunk yourself sick
  G
And I hung from your shoulder
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     Em                  G        C
You were a landslide covered in dirt
   D                          C
You were a car ride into the earth
   Em                           C
You were the last light ever to burn
           Em          G           C
You were a harsh cry, hard to be heard
 
 
[Verse]
 
 G
Your eyelids cover the gold
                             C
Behind the glass, how they crush you
      D              Em          D
And kill you and crumble like buildings
 
 G
Perched in a hole in the wall
                            C
Where lovers languish the words that were said
                        D
As they fell on their swords
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 D                   G        C
Like a landslide covered in dirt
                 G         C
Like a car ride into the earth
 
Like the last light ever to burn
            G           C
You are a harsh cry, hard to be heard
            G          C
You are a harsh cry, hard to be heard
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
Em    G     C     Em    C
Em    G     C     Em    C
Em    G
 
 
[Verse]
 
  G
I joined the people in black to
                   C             D
Celebrate you, we covered you slowly
   G            D
And cried as we did
 
 
[Chorus]
 
  D                G         C
Like a landslide covered in dirt
       G               C
Like a car ride into the earth
    G                C
Like the last light ever to burn
           Em     D     G         C
You are a harsh cry, hard to be heard
           Em     D     G         C
You are a harsh cry, hard to be heard
