[Verse]
D
When they stole that van
 
From in front of my house
                               G
There was a part of me tied to engine
                A
Maybe I was the engine
                                 G
Dragging those boys through the desert
                     A
Tumbleweeds in my hubcaps
                          G
Tambourine shoved in the driveshaft
                          A
Good chords locked in the glovebox
 
 
D
Pull it all downstairs
 
In the red light bar
 
On the carpeted Stage
                             G
The ceiling comes down to my ballcap
                             A
Outside the air weighs a hundred pounds
                            G
Bridesmaids pour out of the bar doors
                         A
Everything black but the concrete
 
 
D
You take the front seat
 
I'll try to drive
 
It's hard enough singing
                              G
When the hotel chokes on your memories
                        A
Maybe let's watch The Sopranos
                  G
Maybe let's order Chinese
                          A
The laundry machine isn't breathing

D
I write about Julie
 
In a little white chair
 
There's nothing for music
                                 G
There's styrofoam crushed in the garbage
                              A
Someone says let's get a move on
                          G
Aw man I'm just gettin my groove on
                                  A
There's sleeping bags over their shoulders
 
 
D
I thought you were crying
 
You said you through
 
For good, nothing funny
                             G
It always goes that way this time
                     A
San Francisco in the nighttime
                      G
Pacing outside of the grocery store
                  A
Saying I can't do this
 
 
D
We went in the woods
 
It was just me and you
 
The river was dry
                             G
You pulled me down under the water
                          A
Funny what makes you feel cared for
                 G
Funny how well I remember
                    A
What a relief to be grateful
                                G
The blood leaks right out of my body
                A
Right out of my body
 
D
At the family reunion
 
Above ground pool
 
There were uncles all over
                   G
Nieces on edges of buildings
                      A
Peering down into the party
                            G
Barbecue breath on their pink tongues
                          A
Lemonade stains on their tank tops
 
                  G
We went away to a coat room
                        A
Lay still there under a window
                             G
Called out the names of your brothers
                            A
The truth is I live to roll over
