Stolen Car

Springsteen Bruce

G C D G

C
Well I found me a little girl and I settled down
D                         G
In a pretty little house, in a pretty little town
C
We got married and promised never to part
D                           G
Then little by little we drifted from each other's hearts


Now I'm drivin' a stolen car on a pitch-black night
D                        G
And I'm doin' my best to make it through
C                        G
Well I'm just sittin' down here at the Stanton light
D                  G
I wanna get caught but I never do

C
At first I thought it was just restlessness
D                            G
That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep
C
But in the end it was something more, I guess
D                 G
That tore us apart and made us weep
C                                 G
And I'm drivin' a stolen car waitin' on that little red light
D                                 G
I keep tellin' myself everything's gonna be alright
C                   G
But I ride by night and I travel in fear
D                          G
That in this darkness I might just disappear

D                         C
She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote
Em        C  D    G
When our love was young and we were bold
Bm                   Em
She said last night she read those letters
F                    C  G C D
And they made her feel a hundred years old

G                         C
There's a river runs by that little town
D             G
Down into the sea
C
It was there in the shade I lay my body down
D                      G
As she flowed on so effortlessly
C
Now there's a party tonight out at county line
D                     G
There'll be dancing down at Seven Trees
C
From these banks I can see those party lights shine
D                              C  G
Maybe she's there, maybe she's looking for me

C
Last night I dreamed I made the call
D                      G
I swore to return and stay forevermore
C
Once again we stood on the wedding steps at Victory Hall
D                             G
And walked arm in arm through the chapel door
C
I can remember how good I felt inside
D                           G
When the preacher said "Son, you may kiss the bride"
C
But as I leaned over to touch her pretty lips
D                        G
I felt it all slip away through my fingertips
C                          G
And I'm drivin' a stolen car through a pitch-black night
D                                 G
I keep tellin' myself everything's gonna be alright
C                   G
But I ride by night and I travel in fear
D                    G
No matter what I do or where I drive
D                   G  C D G
Nobody ever sees me when I ride by
