INTRO: G
Broken yolk in western sky
My [D]stomach turned, my mouth went dry__[C]_[Am]
And I knew I'd [G]never know fear be[D]fore
I [G]pressed my palms into the seat
With [D]one last look at you next to me__[C]_[Am]
I kicked [G]open the sliding [D]door
CHORUS:
And I [C]threw myself out on the [G]road
[C]Torn flesh and broken [G]bones
And in the [Em]shoulder's patchy [A]grass
I [C]faded into your p[G]ast
I know it was a cowardly thing to do
And that an [D]explanation is not an excuse__[C]_[Am]
I just [G]need you to under[D]stand
My [G]love is like some kind of greed
Of [D]equal portions 'want' and 'need__[C]_'[Am]
And I [G]cannot divorce the [D]two
CHORUS:
But I [C]could not sleep at [G]all
With all the [C]rumble strip close [G]calls
In the [Em]gravel and scattered [A]trash
I [C]faded into your p[G]ast[Em]
BRIDGE:
When you think [G]twice
You a[Am]rrive at the same con[C]clusions[Em]
And it's bad ad[G]vice
[D]Only if you [C]use it
INSTRUMENTAL: G D C Am G D C Am G
CHORUS:
And then you [C]disappeared from [G]view
And you be[C]came somebody [G]new
Near the [Em]exit's over[A]pass
I [C]faded into your [G]past
Yes, I [C]faded into your [G]past
Yes, I [C]faded into your [G]past
Broken yolk in western sky
