Outro:
F#m7
It's a long
Way home
No love
In sight
F#m7
I'll crash
Into
Myself
Tonight
Am7
I'm not sad
I'm numb
I'm dead
Inside
Em7
High beams
Are on
In broad
Daylight
Gmaj7
Radio on
No sound
Static
So loud
F#m7
Backseat
Driving
Inside
My head
Am7
Drove off
A ledge
To my
Dead end
Em
All because I'm
N.C.
