[Verse 1]
Asus4 - Am G
It's been seven long days and seven hard nights
Dsus2/F# - Am6/F# F E7
In a '62 Chevy with broke taillights
Asus4 - Am G
An east - bound man in a west - bound lane
Dsus2/F# - Am6/F# F E7
A dishwater blonde about sixteen
Asus4 - Am G
Was standing on the shoulder with a ribbon in her hair
Dsus2/F# - Am6/F# F E7
Her hand on her hip and her thumb in the air
Asus4 - Am G
And I pulled off the road and as she grabbed for the door
Dsus2/F# - Am6/F# F E7
I knew the wind was cold 'cause I'd seen it all before
Asus4 - Am E7
And I was scared
[Refrain]
Am G Am6/F#
Things ain't never what they seem
Am F E7 Am - E7 - Am
When you find you livin' in your own dream
[Verse 2]
Asus4 - Am G
Now the moonlight peeked in and out behind the clouds
Dsus2/F# - Am6/F# F E7
Now and again on this godless child
Asus4 - Am G
And the radio was scrambed, cracklin' in the air
Dsus2/F# - Am6/F# F E7
The ribbon she wore looked old in her hair
Asus4 - Am G
And I saw the moonlight sliver dead down on her face
Dsus2/F# - Am6/F# F E7
I knew it was true, she was in the wrong place
Asus4 - Am G
In the wrong time, in the wrong tale
Dsus2/F# - Am6/F# F E7
I knew when I'd asked her she'd hiss, "Christabel"
[Refrain]
Am G Am6/F#
Things ain't never what they seem
Am F E7 Am - E7 - Am
When you find you livin' in your own dream
[Verse 3]
Asus4 - Am G
She was after the man who had left her alone
Dsus2/F# - Am6/F# F E7
With no father beside her and love longtime gone
Asus4 - Am G
And the snake deep inside her, a hiss in her head
Dsus2/F# - Am6/F# F E7
The rest that had been her was dying or dead
Asus4 - Am G
And she'd a taste for young women with pearly white skin
Dsus2/F# - Am6/F# F E7
She spat on the floor when she spoke of the man
