Dm 
Lit up like a Christmas tree 
F		G	Dm 
the oil refinery glows in the night 
Dm 
and down by the shoreline 
F		G	Dm 
the seagulls fly white, against the black 
Dm 
The great moon riding shotgun 
F		G	Dm 
rolling out across the veil of clouds 
Dm 
and you were small, and lying awake 
F		G	Dm 
listening to the noises in the house. 
 
Bb		A 
With the best of them you ran 
C		G 
like all of us, in our season  
Bb		A 
Casting memory aside 
C		G 
your history, all forgotten 
Bb		A 
driven onwards through the years 
C		G 
in love with each distraction 
Bb			E 
But all the while, the past is close behind 
G			Bb 
like headlights on your tail 
		Dm 
headlights on your tail. 
 
Dm		 
Your pulse is beating faster now 
F		G	Dm 
like a bird flying hard against the wind 
Dm 
trying to understand all the 
F		G 
crazed compulsions that you feel. 
Dm 
And all the little jealousies and 
F		G	Dm 
betrayals, they echo in the dark; 
Dm 
and somewhere back through it all 
F		G	Dm 
the key is still turning in the lock. 
 
Bb			A		C		G 
So now the ghosts that you have laid, they all come out to greet you 
Bb			A		C		G 
And the knowledge that you've gained - well, none of this protects you 
Bb		A	C		G 
You've been so very far, still peace will not embrace you 
Bb			E 
for all the while the past is close behind 
G			Bb		Dm 
Like headlights on your tail, headlights on your tail
