[Verse 1]
E Bm7/Gb G
She took the Oldsmobile out past Condor Avenue
Cmaj7 C D Em
And she locked the car and slipped past into rhythmic
Cmaj7
quietude
C Am Bm Gb Am G/B C
Lights burning, voice dry and hoarse
E Bm7/Gb G
I threw the screen door like a bastard back and forth
Cmaj7 C D
The chimes fell over each other,
Em Cmaj7 C
I fell onto my knees The sound
Am Bm Gb Am G/B C
of the car driving off made me feel diseased
[Chorus]
E G Am
A sick shouting like you hear at the fairground
E G Am
Now I'm picking up to put away anything of yours that's
E
still around
G Am
I don't know what to do with your clothes or your letters
Em D C
It'll make a whisper out of you
G Gb F
[Verse 2]
E Bm7/Gb G
She took the Oldsmobile out past Condor Avenue
Cmaj7
The fairground's lit,
C D Em Cmaj7
a drunk man sits by the gate she's driving through
C Am Bm Gb Am G/B C
Got his hat tipped bottle back in between his teeth
E Bm7/Gb G Cmaj7
Looks like he's buried in the sand at the beach
C D Em Cmaj7 C
I can't think about you driving off to leave barely awake
Am Bm Gb Am G/B C
To take a little nap while the road is straight
[Chorus]
E G Am
I wish that car had never been discovered
E G Am
They took away the bottle and the hat he was under
E G Am
That's the one thing that he could never do
Em D C
And it'll make a whisper out of you
G Gb F
[Verse 3]
E Bm7/Gb G
She took the Oldsmobile out past Condor Avenue
Cmaj7 C D Em
Cops were running around the scene looking for some kind
Cmaj7
of clue
C Am Bm
They never get uptight
Gb Am G/B C
when a moth gets crushed
E Bm7/Gb G
Unless a light bulb really loved him very much
Cmaj7 C
I'm lying down,
D Em Cmaj7
blowing smoke from my cigarette
C Am Bm
Little whisper smoke signs
Gb Am G/B C
that you'll never get
[Chorus]
E G Am
You're in your Oldsmobile driving by the moon
E G Am
Headlights burning bright ahead of you
E
And someone's burning out,
G Am
out on Condor Avenue
Em D C
Trying to make a whisper out of you
G Gb F
[Outro]
E G
What a shitty thing to say,
Am
did you really mean it?
E G Am
You never said a word to me about what passed between us
E G
So now I'm leaving you alone
Am Em
You can do whatever the hell you want to
D
Na, nanananana
