C
Picked you up in Pocatello
        F
In some truck stop parking lot
    C
Out beside that burned up Volvo
         G
With the smoking engine shot
             C
And you just left that Volvo lying
          F
You never gave it half a thought
C          G         C
Faithless, fine, and gone

C
You said you came from Randolph
   F
Up across the Wasatch Range
         C
You kept talking clear to Salt Lake
         G
Liked to drove us all insane
            C
But now I?m flying down
                       F
That four lane highway screaming out your name
C          G         C
Faithless, fine, and gone

F               C             F               G
Batten down the hatches I can hear my grandma say
C
Boy you like to play with matches
      G             C
Gonna burn yourself someday

C
I?m gonna haul on back to Denver
        F
Just as soon as I get through
        C
And I?m burnt down to smoldering embers
      G
But I guess I can make do
        C
And now I hear some guy that used to
            F
Manage some band I never heard of
   C
Is trying to manage you
C          G         C
Faithless, fine, and gone

F               C             F               G
Batten down the hatches I can hear my grandma say
C
Boy you like to play with matches
      G             C
Gonna burn yourself someday
