Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Every night my dream's the same

Same old city with a different name

Men are coming to take me away

 I don't know why but I know I can't stay

There's a weight that's pressing down

Late at night you can hear the sound

Even the noise you make when you sleep

Can't swim across a river so deep

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them

 But they don't know where and they don't know when

It's coming, when it's coming

There's a fear I keep so deep

Knew its name just before I could speak, yeah

Oh Oh Oh Oh

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them

 But they don't know where and they don't know when

 It's coming, or when but it's coming

 Keep the car running

If some night I don't come home

Please don't think I've left you alone

 The same place animals go when they die

 You can't climb across a mountain so high

 The same city where I go when I sleep

 You can't see across a river so deep

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them

 But they don't know where and they don't know when

 It's coming, oh when is it coming

 Keep the car running

 Keep the car running

 Keep the car running

 Keep the car running

Every night my dream's the same

Same old city with a different name

Men are coming to take me away

Don't know why but I know I can't stay

There's a weight that's pressing down

Late at night I can hear the sound

Even the noise you make when you sleep

Can't see across the river so deep

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them

 But they don't know where and they don't know when

It's coming, when it's coming

There's a fear I get so deep

You knew the sentence before I could speak

Oh Oh Oh Oh

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them

 But they don't know where and they don't know when

 It's coming, or where but it's coming

 Keep the car running

If some night I don't come home

Please don't think I've left you alone

 The same place animals go when they die

Can't get across the mountain so high

 The same city where I go when I sleep

Can't see across the river so deep

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them

 But they don't know where and they don't know when

 It's coming, or where but it's coming

 Keep the car running

 Keep the car running

 Keep the car running

 Keep the car running
