E
There was one thing
B A
I found that I couldn't help thinking
E
As they pried me
B A
Free with the jaws of life
E B A
None of this disaster would ever have happened
E B A
If I had not been driving my neighbor's wife
G#m
To the Alta Loma Days Inn,
Where I'd registered us as
A
A couple with a name I'm sure
B
Some other couple somewhere has
E B A (play twice)
And the last thing
I saw before falling unconscious
Was your right hand
Tracing a heart on my thigh
And I thought my god what an infantile gesture
And I thought my god what an indescribable high
The autumn air was sweeter
Than a slice of wedding cake
As I overshot the exit and
I tried and failed to find the brake
