G Gadd4 Em Cmaj7 x2 


 
G                  Gadd4   Em      Cmaj7 
Backed up down the country lane 
G                     Gadd4   Em      Cmaj7 
The ambulance screams out of frame 
G             Gadd4 
Rubbernecking 
Em            Cmaj7 
Rubbernecking 
             G                        Gadd4  Em     Cmaj7 
The scent of death, it beckons as you drive away 
 

 
G                              Gadd4         Em      Cmaj7 
Fuck with me, baby, just dont tell me your name 
G                               Gadd4     Em         Cmaj7 
Shh a second, wont you tell me where you came from? 
G                   Gmaj7 
Now, just a second 
Em                  Cmaj7 
Oh, just a second 
             G                        Gadd4  Em 
The scent of death, it beckons as you drive away 
 

 
Cmaj7                 A7sus2 
Last night, I fucking killed a man 
                      C 
Last night, I fucking killed a man 
                       Dsus4 
And you know it didn't change shit 
                       C         Am7 
And you know it didn't change anything 
                      A7sus2 
There's a fire in the minivan 
            Cadd9 
And the gasoline stains on your little hands 
 

 
    Cmaj7 G        Cmaj7  G 
It's rubbernecking, failure beckons 
    Bm7   Am7      Bm7       Am7 
You go to work and iron your shirt 
    Cmaj7    G             Cmaj7   G 
And count the seconds where all your records 
Bm7     Am7       Bm7       Am7 
Don't do dirt and hike your skirt up 
 

 
        Am7                                C 
It's an old black tone coming through this microphone 
                 Am7 
The melody, man, I don't know 
                      D7 
The truth be told, it might be thousands of years old
