[Verse 1]

(power chords)

B5 D5 (X4) E5 D5 (x2) F#5

       B5                          
"There's a thousand black cars all 
    D5
driving round in my blood stream
       B5                     D5
gotta take a thousand pills to find 
out where their headlights lead.
  B5                  D5
Is it cold New York? Is it freezing 
in your bed?
B5                             
cuz I caught a deep chill when I 
    D5
went over the Hudson again.
   E5             D5
And it's alright, counting the city 
lights
   E5
where the turnpike divides (Waving 
goodbye to my former life.)

play intro riff for the chorus:

Don't wanna be a self medicator, but
 its hard to sleep when you're born 
to run
I'm sick of living life in the 
Garden State Trap
But all the roads are pointing home 
again.

[Verse 2]:

 B5                              
Holy Cross has got a headstone all 
D5
picked out for me
 B5                              
And my only job is to walk around 
D5
until I fall down at it's feet.
 B5                              
Maybe home is just the place you can
D5
 never escape:
B5                              
From the Camden City graves to the 
D5
edge of the Palisades
 E5             D5
It's alright, counting city lights,
 E5             D5
Where the Turnpike divides,

Waving goodbye to my former life.

Don't wanna be a self medicator, but
 its hard to sleep when you're born 
to run
I'm sick of living life in the 
Garden State Trap
But all the roads are pointing home 
again.


This next part and the part after I 
don't know how to play yet:

And I'll be counting the city lights
Blinking on and off tonight as life 
passes by
And I'm left behind, standing on the
 shoulder of the Jersey Turnpike.
Buildings seem to rise like coffins 
full of stars getting buried in the 
sky.
You want to laugh and dance... to be
 free? Well, alright--

[Build up part]

This part I don't have figured out 
yet:

[Outro refrain]:

I've been thinking about those days 
I wanted to sleep
And you'd wake me up just before 
you'd leave
And I'd fall back into a dream:
Walking in fresh city snow that 
you'd never seen
And I'd never leave your side.
