midnight fallin' like a bag off bones

weighted down now the rest with stones
 Am                         F         C
bouncing off the river the moon made steel
 Am                            F        C
crashin off the chrome of the steering wheel

anything back there is burned and dead
 Am                     F          C
any love they made any words they said

nothing to do know but drop it and roll
