I am [A#m] following the river, down the highway, through the cradle of the civil [G#] war

VERSE 2:
She comes [C#] back to tell me she's gone, as [F#] if I didn't know that, as if I didn't know my own [A#m] bed,
as [G#] if I'd never noticed, the way she brushed her hair from her [C#] forehead

VERSE 3:
There is a [C#] girl in New York City, who calls herself the human trampo-[F#]-line
