Give it one more chance and

Then I finally had it

When you wake up, I'll be gone again
Em                  G       D
Motorcycle in the front lawn

        D
It's an all-night drive from your house to Reno
       G                           D
To the T-bird graveyard where we play with fire
   Em                G        D
In another life, we were arsonists
     Em                       G       D
How long's the Chevy been on cinder blocks?

Em                    G
Mama told me that it don't run

On wishes but that I should have fun
 Em                       G
Pushing the flowers that come up

Into the front of a shotgun
 Em               G    D G D
So many hills to die on

Chorus:
            D
Run out of gas, out of time, out of money
        Am                       G
You're doing what you can, just makin' it run
 D
Take a break, make your escape
        Am           G
There's only so much I can
D                  Am     G
May I please have twenty dollars?
D                Am     G
Can you give me twenty dollars?
D                Am     G
I know you have twenty dollars
D                Am     G
I know you have twenty dollars!
