     G
I'm riding down Kingsley,
                      C
Figuring I'll get a drink
 G
Turn the radio up loud,
                     D   C D
So I don't have to think,
   G
I take her to the floor,
                                           C
Looking for a moment when the world seems right,
                     Am
And I tear into the guts,
     C         D7          G
Hmmm of something in the night

Well you're born with nothing
And better off that way
Soon as you've got something they send
Someone to try and take it away
Well you can ride this road till dawn
Without another human being in sight
Yeah just kids wasted on
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Something in the night

D
Nothing is forgotten or forgiven,
                           C    C G C G
When it's your last time around,
D
I got stuff running around 'round my head
                        C  D7 D
That I just can't live down

Well we found the things we loved
They were crushed and dying in the dirt
We tried to pick up the pieces
And get away without getting hurt
But they caught us at the state line
Burned our cars in one last fight
And left us running burned and blind
Mmm mmm mmm mmm
Chasing something in the night
