Verse:
Am G F (stop)
I stopped to fill my car up
Am G F (stop)
The car felt good that day
Am G F (stop)
I didn't know where I was going
Am G F
But it felt good for change
(same as above verse)
A five and a pocket full of silver
I paid the lady no change
And then it started to piss down
I started driving again
Chorus:
C C/B
And then I looked up
Am G F
And looked in the mirror behind me x2
Verse:
Am G F
A man around forty in the back seat
Am G F
Must have stepped in when I was empty
Am G F
So why's he sat there just waiting
Am G F
Likely to smash my face in
(same as above verse)
He had a bag full of money
He said just drive me away
I didn't know where I was going
Yet it felt good to be strange
Chorus:
C C/B
And still I look up
Am G F
And look in the mirror behind me x2
Verse:
Am Em F (stop)
Curiosity is over
Am G F (stop)
He stepped down from the car
Am G F (stop)
He pulled a gun from his jacket
Am G F (stop)
Said I was going to die
(same as above verse)
It gives me so much satisfaction
To watch you beg and cry
Well I just made up this story
To get your attention makes me smile
Chorus:
C C/B
I never looked up
Am G F
Or looked in the mirror behind me x2 (stop after 2nd time)
