Title: One Headlight
By:    The Wallflowers

(note: guitar leads is in D major pentatonic)

[intro:] 2 x [ G-D-F#-Bm-A ]

[verse: 1]
G                     D       
So long ago I don't remember when
F#                                  Bm        A
That's when they say I lost my only friend
G                                 D       
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
F#                                 Bm       A
As I listened through the cemetery trees

G-D-F#-Bm-A

G                               D
I've seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn
F#                         Bm       A
I've long broken all of human law
G                                  D
Now it always seemed such a waste  she always had a pretty face
F#                                  Bm       A
I wondered why she hung around this place
G/ / / /                 F#
                         Hey...

[chorus:]
G
Come on try a little
D
Nothing is forever
Em                                
There's got to be something better than
A
in the middle
G
Me and Cinderella 
D
Put it all together
Em                   A  
We can drive it home ...
A 
with one headlight

G-D-F#-Bm-A

[verse: 2]
G                                D       
She said its cold it feels like independence day 
       F#                          Bm       A
And I can't break away from this parade
G                                
But there's got to be an opening
D
Somewhere here in front of me
       F#                          Bm       A
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
G                                D       
I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge
       F#                          Bm       A
Saying all is good and nothing less its dead
G
Runnin' till she's out of breath
D
She ran until there's nothing left
       F#                          Bm       A
She hit the end its just her window ledge
G/ / / /                 F#
                         Hey...

[chorus:]    {repeat} 

2 x [ G-D-F#-Bm-A ]

[verse: 3]
G                                D       
This place is old feels just like a beat up truck
       F#                          Bm       A
I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn
G                               
With smells of cheap ol' wine and cigarettes
D
This place is always such a mess
       F#                              Bm       A
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

[verse: 4]
G                                D       
So alone I feel just like somebody else
       F#                              Bm       A
Man I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same
G                                      
But somewhere here in between
D
These city walls and dyin' dreams
       F#                              Bm       A
I think her death it must be killing me

G/ / / /                 F#
                         Hey hey hey...

[chorus:] {repeat}
