18 Wheels

Tom: G

Verso 1:
        G
Driving rain
C9              G
40 miles out of Michigan
C9         G
Spiderweb headlights
C9   D
Shut me down

             G
I knocked on the door
C9      G
I rang the bell
C9         G
The sign said vacancy
C9            D
There was no-one around

Refrão:
   Am                    C
18 wheels up against the wall
   G                 D
56 tons of grain alcohol
       Am                    C
Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong
               G
But my will is gone
           D
My will is gone
           G         C9
My will is gone

(G  C9)

Verso 2:
          G
Lightning flashing
C9         G      
Standing in a phone booth
C9        G
I called her number
C9      D
I got a machine

G  C9
I heard her voice             
I heard the tone
I tried to speak
Couldn't say anything

(Refrão)

Verso 3:
Blinding snow
Sioux City Iowa
It dawned on me
She was gone to stay

I jammed the brakes
I swung it around
Now I'm headed back
But it's way too late

(Refrão)
