DRIVE-IN MOVIE	Fred Eaglesmith

(Key of D, played from open C position with capo at the 2nd fret)

C (finger-picking)

         C
Well the phone broke the silence like the screaming of a siren

                                                      Em
And I just sat beside it and took another drag on the cigarette

                  F                 G
I swore I'd never smoke again and I watched it ring.

  C                                                        Em
I knew that it was you calling just to prove that you were strong as you could be

                                   F           G
And you could get along without me anytime and anyway.

Chorus:
       C
I just stared through the door screen and watched the cars come down the pike

      Em                                                F
Their lights against the sky like a drive-in movie on a country road

         G                                Am
That I'd seen before, and never liked the first time.

Blue lights on the dashboard, songs on the radio
(Note: change to Em at the beginning of the 2nd line here and in the 3rd verse too)
How were you to ever know how much I loved you so
You thought that I was only dreamin'.
And what a surprise it must have been to realise I was one of them
Not a king but just a man, not an angel, hardly a friend,
And not someone you could believe in.

(Chorus)

And out across the rugged hills, the dust blows, the wind wails
Sun-bleached skulls and empty shells, broken men with tales to tell
And I will be one of them.
And how are we to ever know how far it's going to go
You fall in love and that's the road you travel 'til you can't no more
And then you just turn around again.

(Chorus)	F	G	Am
