Broken Yolk In Western Sky(Chords)

	        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 


 
      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 


 
      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 



             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
