VERSE ONE
Ooh inner city street where I sleep
I watched you take this romance home to me, oh
I believe in something more
I watched her heart through bedroom doors
It's true
Eyes that are older than you
LINK
Play INTRO
VERSE TWO
Ooh echoes in the heart when we meet
I chose to take this moment to tell you I'm leaving, oh
I believe in something more
I watched her heart through bedroom doors
It's true
Eyes that are older than you
Ooo-ooo ooo
They're older than you
Ooo-ooo ooo
They're older than you
I watched you count it up on one hand
Like lovers and ocean and land
And you keep on going
Over and over and over again
LINK
Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do oh
I believe in something more
I watched her heart through bedroom doors, oh
I believe in something more
I watched her heart through bedroom doors
It's true
Eyes that are older than you

CAR CRASH
By Scott Macoun. smacoun@shingoul.com.au
G Am C B1 (not exactly a B, I call it B1)
D ------0-------2-------2-------4------ (listen to the CD for rhythm)
(I don't want to die.....
The roads are wet.....)
(Can't you try and wait.....
And if it was a dream.....)
On the 2nd time through, change to Am for a bar at the end
(while Kav is singing 'Oooohhh oh oohhh')
Back to verse
(The nighttime roads.....
And if we make it home.....)
Same as chorus 1, except at the end, after the Am for a bar,
play this:-
D ------4-------2------- (the Am builds up slowly, strumming louder
A ------2-------0------- and louder)
(while Kav sings 'Oooohhh oh oohhh' for the second time)
B ------0-------1h3p1---1-------1------
(I'm almost home.....
Almost home......)
On the 2nd time through, change to B1 for a bar at the end
(while Kav is singing 'Out on the roads')
Back to the verse chords (strum G as Kav sings 'Tonight')
(Duuuuuu du du duu....tonight.....)
Slow it down on the 2nd time through
End (single strums only)
(I had a terrible dream.....
So don't worry.....)
