Ah, her mind's on her boyfriend and eggs over ea- -sy
F#|------7------------------------2--------------------|
It's just a trick on you, her mirrors and your will
F#|--------9---------------------------4------------------------------------|
So you ask the truck driver on the way to the till
 
F#|-----2-----------5-------------------11---X---0-------6----8----0-|
But he's just a slave to Barangrill
The guy at the gas-pumps, he's got a lot of soul
He sings Merry Christmas for you just like Nat King Cole
And he makes up his own tune right on the spot
About white-walls and windshields and this job he's got
And you want to get moving, and you want to stay still
But lost in the moment, some longing gets filled
F#|------------------------5-------------------------------11--13--0-|
And you even forget to ask: ?Hey, where's Barangrill??
F#|-6---8----X------11---X---0-| (repeat & fade)
