Keep the Car Running

Every night my dream's the same

Same old city with a different name

Fadd9

Men are coming to take me away

I don't know why but I know I can't stay

There's a weight that's pressing down

Late at night you can hear the sound

Even the noise you make when you sleep

Can't swim across a river so deep

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them

Am7 Fadd9

But they don't know where and they don't know when

It's coming, when it's coming

There's a fear I keep so deep

Knew its name just before I could speak, yeah

Oh Oh Oh Oh

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them

But they don't know where and they don't know when

It's coming, or when but it's coming

Keep the car running

If some night I don't come home

Please don't think I've left you alone

Fadd9

The same place animals go when they die

You can't climb across a mountain so high

Fadd9

The same city where I go when I sleep

You can't see across a river so deep

They know my name, 'cause I told it to them

But they don't know where and they don't know when

It's coming, oh when is it coming

Keep the car running

Keep the car running

Keep the car running

Keep the car running
