[Verse 1]
C
Death took the husband of a neighbor of mine
F C
On a highway with a drunk at the wheel
She told me, "Keep your clean hands off the laundry he left
F
And don't tell me you know how I feel"
Bb Am
She had a tape that he'd sent her from a Holiday Inn
F C
And she never played it much in the day
Bb Am
But when I heard him say he loved her through the window at night
G
I just stayed the hell away
[Refrain]
C
There's a hole in the middle of the prettiest life
F C
So the lawyers and the prophets say
Not your father nor your mother
F
Nor you lover's gonna ever make it go away
Bb Am
And there's too much darkness in an endless night
F D7
To be afraid of the way we feel
F Bb
Let's be kind to each other
Am
Not forever but for real
[Verse 2]
C
My father never put his parachute on
F C
In the Pacific back in World War Two
He said he'd rather go down in familiar flames
F
Than get lost in that endless blue
Bb Am
And some of that blue got into my eyes
F C
And we never stopped fighting that war
Bb Am
Until I first understood about endlessness
G
And I loved him like never before
[Refrain]
C
There's a hole in the middle of the prettiest life
