verse 1 (continue playing MAIN RIFF throughout the verses) 
Dm                  Gm 
Been staring at the big hand 
Am      A       Dm 
Waiting for the big hi-five 
Dm           Gm 
Only looking forward 
Am       A         Dm 
  To the Purgatory Drive 
Dm                    Gm 
 Between work and his low life 
Am        A             Dm 
 He don’t want to be at home 
Dm                Gm 
 So he drinks and takes his time 
Am         A           Dm 
 Under the fate of the road

Chorus 
Dm 
Now he’s taking a ride 
F            Am 
 Though he’d rather be dead 
A              Dm          A                 Dm 
 Lonely Sunset Drive’s the only thing that’s left

Dm     Gm 
Am  A  Dm 

verse 2 
Dm              Gm 
His memories of her won’t blur 
Am   A               Dm 
 Without that little mixture 
Dm         Gm 
 Afraid of thoughts becoming words 
Am        A        Dm 
 He don’t wanna be cured 
Dm               Gm 
Gotta leave him alone 
Am    A      Dm 
 He’s on his own

BRIDGE 
Dm                Gm     Am       A     Dm 
 Do you know that feeling of your heart suddenly sinking? 
Dm      Gm                Am         A              Dm 
 Love replaced with smoke, like your soul's getting choked

 Lonely Sunset Drive’s the only thing that’s left

    Now he’s taking a
