(no notes) F                A
We're in a road movie to Berlin.
      D                          Bb
Can't drive out the way we drove in.
         A
So sneak out this glass of bourbon
          Bb
and we'll go.

(no notes) F                A
We were    once so close to Heaven.
      D                    Bb
Peter came out and gave us medals.
  A                            Bb
Declaring us the nicest of the damned.

F                   A
Time won't find the lost.
      D
It'll sweep up our skeleton bones.
   Bb                 A               Bb
So take the wheel and I will take the pedals.
