                         command of cars you drive

verse:
he sits and stares at the road 
white lines blur into black   
until he sees nothing else
he tried to cope with her loss 
by forgetting who he was 
but he'd never forget her face
i saw him make the first move 
to follow her all the way down
the wire for the last time
he dreamt he'd taken a dive    
and called her on the way down 
and now he can sleep at night
he still has a lock of her hair    
he gave her a lock of his own
he clenches it tight in his hand

chorus:

  C#5                     G#5                  B5
