The Overpass(Chords)

	        
Verse 

C 
Well he wakes up, nice and dry 

Hears the cars and trucks above him rollin by 
                   Am                 F 
He lights a cig?Takes a swig 
                C 
He does this everyday 

C 
Wife and kids?.weren?t enough 

Started running round?drinking way too much 
      Am                     F 
Takin pills?..chasing thrills 
                    C 
Till he lost everything 


G                                       F 
Somedays he?s sober long enough to feel regret 
C 
But he?ll find a bottle and it won?t last 
G                                   F 
Cause he can?t bear the thought of what it took to get 

Dm                          G 
From what he had to what he has 
              C 
Under the Overpass 


Verse 

C 
He prefers?.sunshine to rain 

Cause the liquor store?s half a mile away 
              Am               F 
But folks give more?on days it pours 
                       C 
So it works out either way 


G                                       F 
Somedays he?s sober long enough to feel regret 
C 
But he?ll find a bottle and it won?t last 
G                                  F 
Cause he can?t bear the thought of what it took to get 

Dm                          G 
From what he had to what he has 
          C 
Under the Overpass 


Instrumental (Am-G-C) 


G                                     F 
He?s just biding time?the only way he knows 
C 
Numbing pain he can?t get past 
 G                                     F 
He?ll be there until he?s got somewhere to go. 
Dm 
But who knows how long he has
