Crash and Burn

Sheryl Crow

Tom: C


G                             Dm
I watched the sun come up on Portland
G                         Dm        C
I waved goodbye to all my friends
(C)         F                G      C
I packed my car and headed to LA
(C)         F            G
I gave away all my loose ends


G                            Dm
Somebody said you gotta get away
G                      Dm       C
To wanna go back home again
(C)        F                 G    C
I left my universe standing there
(C)          F                G
Holding the hand of my best friend


           F              Dm           G
And it's laughter that I feel when I think of you
      F                 Dm        G      F
It's one more dusty rose about to turn
(F)           Dm              G
I'll see you when I reach New Mexico
C              F                 G
If I'm in the mood to crash and burn


(G)                      Dm            G
I wrote a letter that I never mailed
(G)                           Dm     C
I rehearsed a dialogue in my head
(C)          F               G           C
In case you ever wanted to track me down
(C)          F              G
I'll take my cell phone to bed


           F              Dm            G
And it's laughter that I hear when I close my eyes
          F                 Dm           G
And it's one more punchline I forgot to learn
   F        Dm                   G   C
I call you up when my bottle's dry
(C)        F                 G
I'm on my way to crash and burn


G                              Dm
Antigone laid across the road
G                                             Dm   C
And let a mack truck leave her there for dead
(C)               F                     G     C
Just because her lover split the scene
(C)                 F                             G
Well love might be great break but why lose your head


            F                  Dm         G
Well, it's laughter that comes up when I cry for you
        F                   Dm           G
And my heart may break again before it learns
        F                   Dm           G
And I might be stupid enough to want to fall again
C                   F                   G     C
Cause I've gotten use to the crash and burn
(C)                 F                    G
I say I've gotten use to the crash and burn
