Broken Yolk In Western Sky
View chords used in this chart
Intro: G
Broken yolk in western sky
D C Am
My stomach turned, my mouth went dry___
G D
And I knew I'd never know fear before
G
I pressed my palms into the seat
D C Am
With one last look at you next to me___
G D
I kicked open the sliding door
[Refrão]
C G
And I threw myself out on the road
C G
Torn flesh and broken bones
Em A
And in the shoulder's patchy grass
C G
I faded into your past
I know it was a cowardly thing to do
D C Am
And that an explanation is not an excuse___
G D
I just need you to understand
G
My love is like some kind of greed
D C Am
Of equal portions 'want' and 'need___'
G D
And I cannot divorce the two
[Refrão]
C G
But I could not sleep at all
C G
With all the rumble strip close calls
Em A
In the gravel and scattered trash
C G Em
I faded into your past
Bridge:
G
When you think twice
Am C Em
You arrive at the same conclusions
G
And it's bad advice
D C
Only if you use it
Instrumental: G D C Am G D C Am G
[Refrão]
C G
And then you disappeared from view
C G
And you became somebody new
Em A
Near the exit's overpass
C G
I faded into your past
C G
Yes, I faded into your past
C G
Yes, I faded into your past
