[F#]
A long stretch of headlights build into white night.
They [D#m] tiptoe into [F#]
truck stops
[E] and [C#m] sleepy diesel [E] lights.
[F#] Volcanoes rumble in the taxi, glow in the dark.
Camels in the dry sea,
[E] a slow easy march.
[F#]
[B] But you ran [C#] out of gas down the road a [G#m] piece.
The battery [B] went dead, now the [Bm] cable won't reach.
[D] Here's your [C] last [G] chance to [Em] check on the good.
[G] [C] Last chance, [Em] but she ain't [E] sounding too good.
[Am] Your [D] last [Bm] chance to [Em] trust the [C] man with the stars.
[Em]
[G]
[C] Cause you found the last
[D] chance to [Em] take a second.
[C] Last
[D] chance.
[F#]
Well, they tried to be standard, they tried to be [D#m] Muslim.
[F#] They tried [D#m] living in a [F#] world that was in a shell.
[E]
[F#] There was this black busted blonde, he loved her three parts of labor.
But she broke down and died.
[E] She threw all the rocks that he gave her.
[F#]
[B] I was this one ate fuel [C#] and decked it, her blood was [G#m] disconnected.
She gets scared [B] and she stalls.
But she just
[Bm] needs a man.
[D] That's all gets [Bm]
her [C] last chance.
[Bm] Her [Em] time is so rolling, [C] she [Em]
can't [E] out [A] [Am]-slow her [D] last chance.
[Bm] Turn [Em] her around,
[C]
[Em]
[C]
[D] chance [Em] takes a curse.
[C] Chance.
