Stolen Car Chords

Stolen Car - Bruce Springsteen
 
This is not the version from the "River" album but the alternative version
from the "Tracks" album. It's got slightly different lyrics and different
chords. Enjoy!
 
[Intro]
| G | C | D | G
 
[Verse 1]
         G                                   C
Well, I found me a little girl and I settled down
     D                                    G
In a pretty little house, in a pretty little town
G                            C
We got married and promised never to part
                D                          G
Then little by little we drifted from each other's hearts
 
                  C                G
Now I'm drivin' a stolen car on a pitch-black night
        D                        G
And I'm doin' my best to make it through
               C                                G
Well, I'm just sittin' down here at the Stanton light
             D                  G
I wanna get caught but I never do
 
[Verse 2]
   G                                 C
At first I thought it was just restlessness
            D                           G
That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep
           G                        C
But in the end it was something more, I guess
              D                 G
That tore us apart and made us weep
 
                  C                          G
And I'm drivin' a stolen car waitin' on that little red light
       D                                 G
I keep tellin' myself everything's gonna be alright
      C                    G
But I ride by night and I travel in fear
             D                          G
That in this darkness I might just disappear
 
[Bridge]
      D                       C            Em
She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote
                  C         D       G
When our love was young and we were bold
         Bm                        Em
She said last night she read those letters
                  F                    C    D
And they made her feel a hundred years old
 
[Verse 3]
          G                         C
There's a river runs by that little town
 D             G
Down into the sea
         G                         C
It was there in the shade I lay my body down
          D                    G
As she flowed on so effortlessly
 
                G                    C
Now there's a party tonight out at county line
             D                       G
There'll be dancing down at Seven Trees
              G                     C
From these banks I can see those party lights shine
            D                              C   G
Maybe she's there, maybe she's looking for me
 
[Verse 4]
       G                C
Last night I dreamed I made the call
              D                      G
I swore to return and stay forevermore
              G                             C
Once again we stood on the wedding steps at Victory Hall
            D                             G
And walked arm in arm through the chapel door
 
        G                  C
I can remember how good I felt inside
         D                           G
When the preacher said "Son, you may kiss the bride"
       G                           C
But as I leaned over to touch her pretty lips
          D                           G       G/A
I felt it all slip away through my fingertips
 
         G/B       C                   G
And I'm drivin' a stolen car through a pitch-black night
       D                                 G
I keep tellin' myself everything's gonna be alright
      C                   G
But I ride by night and I travel in fear
          D                     G
No matter what I do or where I drive
            D                G
Nobody ever sees me when I ride by
