Verses
Am Em/G F/C
1. i stopped to fill my car up
the car felt good that day
i didn't know where i was going
but it felt good for a change
a five and a pocket full of silver
i paid the lady no change
then it started to piss down
started driving again
2. man round forty in the back seat
must have stepped in when i was empty
so why's he sat there just waiting
likely to smash my face in
he had a bag full of money
said just drive me away
i didn't know where i was going
but it felt good to be strange
3. curi_________osity is over
stepped down from the car
he pulled a gun from his jacket
said i was going to die
it gives me so mucg satisfaction
to watch you beg and cry
well i just made up this story
to get your attention makes me smile

Chorus

After this kelly play a long solo that i haven't worked out yet, but on
the video he gradually makes his way up the fretboeard using mainly the
D and G strings, try it yourselves to see if you come up with anything.
The lastfew bars are as follows.

Those bends on the G string get slower each time and the last one is a
long slow bend up and then bent back down, and the last two notes
played are played slowly and allowed to ring. A piano play a little
riff right at the end so try appregiating some chords from the song to
get the sound if you like.
