Stolen Car - Bruce Springsteen
This is not the version from the "River" album but the alternative version
from the "Tracks" album. It's got slightly different lyrics and different
chords. Enjoy!
G C D G
I found me a little girl and I Csettled down
In a D pretty little house, in a Gpretty little town
We got married and promised Cnever to part
Then little by Dlittle we drifted from each Gother's hearts
Now I'm drivin' a stolen car on a pitch-black night
And I'm Ddoin' my best to make it Gthrough
Well I'm just Csittin' down here at the GStanton light
I wanna get Dcaught but I never Gdo
At first I thought it was just Crestlessness
That would Dfade as time went by and our Glove grew deep
But in the end it was something Cmore, I guess
That tore us Dapart and made us Gweep
And I'm drivin' a Cstolen car waitin' on that little Gred light
I keep Dtellin' myself everything's gonna Gbe alright
But I Cride by night and I Gtravel in fear
That in this Ddarkness I might just disapGpear
She Dasked if I remembered the Cletters I wrote
When our love was Emyoung and Cwe Dwere Gbold
She said last Bmnight she read those Emletters
And they made her Ffeel a hundred years ColdG C D
There's a Griver runs by that little Ctown
DDown into the Gsea
It was there in the shade I lay my Cbody down
As she Dflowed on so effortlessGly
Now there's a party tonight out at Ccounty line
There'll be Ddancing down at Seven GTrees
From these banks I can see those Cparty lights shine
Maybe she's Dthere, maybe she's looking for Cme G
Last night I dreamed I Cmade the call
I swore to Dreturn and stay foreverGmore
Once again we stood on the wedding steps at CVictory Hall
And walked Darm in arm through the chapel Gdoor
I can remember how good I Cfelt inside
When the Dpreacher said "Son, youG may kiss the bride"
But as I leaned over to touch her Cpretty lips
I felt it Dall slip away through my Gfingertips
And I'm drivin' a Cstolen car through a pitch-Gblack night
I keep Dtellin' myself everything's gonna Gbe alright
But I Cride by night and I Gtravel in fear
No matter Dwhat I do or where I Gdrive
Nobody ever Dsees me when I ride Gby C D G
