G D Cadd9 A7sus4
Broken yolk in western sky, my stomach turned, my mouth went dry
G D
I knew I'd never known fear before
G
I pressed my palms into the seat
D Cadd9 A7sus4
Took one last look at you next to me
G D C G
I kicked open the sliding door and I threw myself out on the road
C G Gsus2 Em A7sus4
Torn flesh and broken bones in the gravel and scattered trash;
C G
I faded into your past.
G
I know it was a cowardly thing to do and that
D Cadd9 A7sus4
An explanation is not an excuse
G D G
I just want you to understand that love is only a type of greed
D Cadd9 A7sus4
Of equal portions want and need
G D C G
And you cannot divorce the two and I could not sleep at all
C G Gsus2 Em A7sus4
With all the rumble strip close calls in the gravel and patchy grass;
C G
I faded into your past.
When you think twice...

===============================================================================
I think A7 suffices where you have put A7sus4. It just sounds better IMO
