Truckstop Angel

Am Fmaj7 Gsus4 G Am

  Am                             Fmaj7
I meet them in the truckstops, I meet them in the bars
  G                                   F
I meet them in the parking lots and I slip into their cars
     Am                                  Fmaj7
They come and put their money down, they come and place their bets
  G                                F
I swallow their indifference,but I choke on my regrets

Am Fmaj7 Gsus4 G Am

    Am                              Fmaj7
Sometimes they ask me questions sometimes they treat me nice
G                                F
You don't know what you'll get until you roll the dice
         Am                      Fmaj7
You're a loser or a winner here, predator or prey
    G                                F
I'm still not sure which one I am or how I got this way

         F                C
And it's hard to hear the angels
G                 Am
Over the diesels’ hum
      F                      C
But I know they're out there singing
         G                     Dm
And I'll know them when they come
         F              C
And I'll rise above the neon
G                      Am
Above this trailer park
    G                                  F
And fly like a truckstop angel with an arrow through my heart

          Am                            Fmaj7
There's a big sky up above me there's a wasteland down below
          G                                    F
There's a long black snake of highway take you where you wanna go
    Am                              Fmaj7
One day I'm gonna leave here, gonna hit my lucky streak
      G                                 F
Gonna spread my gorgeous wings and fly above all this concrete

         F                C
And it's hard to hear the angels
G                 Am
Over the diesels’ hum
      F                      C
But I know they're out there singing
         G                     Dm
And I'll know them when they come
         F              C
And I'll rise above the neon
G                      Am
Above this trailer park
    G                                  F
And fly like a truckstop angel with an arrow through my heart
