Verse 1 
   G              C          G 
I met a little girl and I settled down 
G                      C              G 
In a little house out on the edge of town 
G           C                                    G 
We got married and swore we'd never part 
G                 C                                      G 
Then little by little we drifted from each other's heart 

Verse 2 
G          C                          G 
At first I thought it was just restlessness 
                  C                                            G 
That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep 
         G                C              G 
In the end it was something more I guess 
       G          C                           G 
That tore us apart and made us weep 

Chorus: 
G                         C 
And I'm driving a stolen car 
                             G 
Down on Eldridge Avenue 
                     C 
Each night I wait to get caught 
         G 
But I never do 

Verse 3 
G                    C                         G 
She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote 
                                C               G 
When our love was young and bold 
               C                                    G 
She said last night she read those letters 
G                             C                                   G 
And they made her feel one hundred years old                           

Chorus: 
                           C 
And I'm driving a stolen car 
                           G 
On a pitch black night 
              C                                 G 
And I'm telling myself I'm gonna be alright 
         C                           G 
But I ride by night and I travel in fear 
                   C                    G 
That in this darkness I will disappear
