VERSE 1

         D                 Gmaj7
Will she breeze down to my hotel room
        Em7                     Gmaj7
Like an interstate truck in the rain?
    D                        Gmaj7
She said she got a team down skinny Jim's
                           Em7                      F#7
There ain't scales there's nothing now I just wanna play
    Bm                   Gmaj7
She found me a real good story
              D                    Gmaj7
Never let the truth get in the way

She said she came on down from the north-west of town
      Em7        Gmaj7
In a '63 Holden EJ
     D                          Gmaj7 
With potato from Kentucky and a fresh bag of Luckys
      Em7                F#7
And a Bowie compilation tape
    Bm                   Gmaj7                     
She found me a real good story
      D                        Gmaj7
Never questioned anything that she said

The reason she's still standing here

The reason we're still standing here today

I left my brains in Hong Kong,
        Em7                    Gmaj7
Left my wallet in a two dollar shirt
      D                    Gmaj7
And I forgot every goddamn minute with you
            Em7                    F#7
Just like a minute in a movie that hurts
    Bm                   Gmaj7                     
She found me a real good story
      D                        Gmaj7
Never let the truth get in the way

Never questioned anything that she said

The reason she's still standing here
    D      E7          Gmaj7           D
The reason we're still standing here today
