The Overpass(Keyboard 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
