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
