A5*       Dm                          A5*
Antiques!    Every other sentiment an antique
   Dm                          Dm7
As obsolete as warships in the Baltic
    A5*     Dm                           A5*
I'm driving on a straight road, it never alters
        Dm7                         Am
And the radio serenades and doesn't falter

Late sky like an all-night radio station without morning
     Dm7                                Am
Like stumbling on Pearl Harbour without warning

  The sunset makes a fence out of the forest
    Dm             Dm7           | Am* | % | % | % |

I've lost just what it takes to be honest
