_ _ _ [A] I saw a crash on [C#m] the interstate _
[D] _ It left a feeling [E] I could not shake
[A] _
Just a name and [C#m] a database Who [D] _ must be [E] notified?
_ _ _ [D] _
It's not a phone [E] call I want to make _ [C#m] A stranger [F#m] answers, I hesitate _ _ _
[C#m] I got some bad [F#m] news, it couldn't wait _ [D] Are _ you sitting [E] down? _
_ [A] Her bathrobe hangs [C#m] on the bedroom door [D] _
Though she's been dead [E] for a year or more
_ _ [A] He buried her by [C#m] the sycamore So [D] that he could [E] keep her close
_ _ _ _ [D]
It broke his heart [E] and it made him old _ [C#m] _ Tries to rebuild, [F#m] it just erodes _
[C#m] Some people say [F#m] that's the way it goes [D] But he don't [E] feel that way _

[D] _ _ Something dies [E] when a star is born
_ [A] I spread my anger [C#m] like Agent Orange I [D] was _ _ _
_ [E] indiscriminate
_ I [D] _ _ met Lou [E] Reed and Patti Smith _ [C#m] _ _
Didn't make me [F#m] feel different _
_ [C#m] _ Guess I lost [F#] all my [F#m] innocence _ _ [D] _
Way too [E] long ago _

_ _ _ _ [A] She caught my bluff and [C#m] she won the fight _ _ [E] I ran outside in the hot _ twilight
_ [A] I had a [C#m] lighter that didn't light Well, [D] I _ [E] know I shouldn't smoke
_ _ _ [D] _ _
I was gone, I [E] was free to leave _ [C#m] _ _ Walking fast [F#m] down the Bowery
_ _ [C#m] _
Tears in my eyes so [F#m] I couldn't see [D] But I _ made my [E] way back home to you [A] again
