Doo do do do doo doo doo doo
C#m7             F#9     D#
Doo do do do doo doo doo doo
C#m7             F#9     D#

[Verse 1]
C#m7             F#9   D#    C#m7             F#9       D#
On a highway, unpaved, going my way you're so alone today
C#m7                F#9         D#       C#m7                   F#9   D#
Like a ghost town, I've found there's no belief, no salt in the sea
 
[Verse 2]
      C#m7           F#9      D#    C#m7                    F#9       D#
Is it true what they say? You can't behave You gambled your soul away
C#m7           F#9       D#        C#m7                      F#9   D#
Measuring your dreams of this life seems like the gristle of loneliness
 
[Chorus]
C#m7      C#m7    F#9   D#      C#m7      F#9   D#
Doo do do Don't   let   the sun catch you cryin'
C#m7      C#m7    F#9   D#      C#m7      F#9   D#
Doo do do Don't   let   the sun catch you cryin'
 
[Instrumental]
C#m7             F#9     D#
C#m7             F#9     D#
C#m7             F#9     D#
C#m7             F#9     D#
 
[Verse 3]
C#m7             F#9       D#      C#m7             F#9    D#
Like an ice age, nice days on your way, sipping the golden drinks
     C#m7      F#9           D#       C#m7               F#9  D#
On a rip-tide, freak's ride, asleep inside, a parasite's appetite
 
[Verse 4]
    C#m7          F#9   D#       C#m7                    F#9      D#
Oh, say can't you see?  The chemistry the parasites, the clean up fee
C#m7        F#9   D#       C#m7              F#9          D#      C#m7
Death never hands recycled cans and get well cards to the hostage vans
 
[Chorus]
C#m7      C#m7    F#9   D#      C#m7      F#9   D#
Doo do do Don't   let   the sun catch you cryin'
C#m7      C#m7    F#9   D#      C#m7      F#9   D#
Doo do do Don't   let   the sun catch you cryin'
 
[Instrumental]
C#m7                     D#
C#m7                     D#
C#m7                     D#
C#m7                     D#
C#m7             F#9     D#
C#m7             F#9     D#
 
[Verse 5]
C#m7                 F#9   D#               C#m7             F#9       D#
You're a deadweight, right straight on your way, sunk in the midnight shade
C#m7               F#9    D#               C#m7             F#9  D#
Skies burned, eyes turned learning to counterfeit their disease
 
[Verse 6]
        C#m7          F#9  D#             C#m7             F#9    D#
In this town where we roam   we bluff our souls on canteen patios
C#m7              F#9      D#       C#m7             F#9      D#        C#m7
Drink the bravest drauft, the music drags, the music drags,   the music drags
 
[Outro]
C#m7      C#m7    F#9   D#      C#m7      F#9   D#
Doo do do Don't   let   the sun catch you cryin'
C#m7      C#m7    F#9   D#      C#m7      F#9   D#
Doo do do Don't   let   the sun catch you cryin'
C#m7      C#m7    F#9   D#      C#m7      F#9   D#
Doo do do Don't   let   the sun catch you cryin'
C#m7             F#9     D#
C#m7             F#9     D#
C#m7             F#9     D#
C#m7             F#9     D#
