Verse 1
        E 
Well, I know it gets better but it won't get better 
      D 
Keeps raining in my head  I blame it all on the weather 
A                                           E 
  When I drive all night with my headlights off

This next one I wrote's for the radio 
   D                                           A 
So you can hear my voice when you are not at home 
                             E 
Like when you're out getting stoned 
 
      E 
And I set my smile on a window sill

Keep singing my song like a whippoorwill

In the morning, babe, when the sun comes 
        E 
I'll be gone

        E                       D 
Can you feel, can you feel that fire 
                   A                              E 
Burning like acetylene right through my prison walls? 
        E                           D 
Can you feel, oh, can you feel that fire 
                   A                             E 
Burning like acetylene right through my prison walls?
