Dirty Windscreens

Intro is the same as the chorus.
G
The record keeps skipping through dirty windscreens
Am C
And it's one never ending cliche highway scene
G F/G Em
and the visit's too short and the journeys too long
C D
It feels like we're trapped in some damn burnouts song
C
But no tool belts or steel caps just drums and guitars
D
And we don't work in mines we just sing songs in bars
Chorus:
C D
It's a broken down dream but we call it a life
G F/G Em
Like a circus performer who swallows the knife
C
Just to spit out the handle and choke on the blood
D
It's a broken a broken down dream but we pray it's enough
G
I'd give the devil my soul for a good show tonight
Am C
Just a glimpse just a sign I'm not wasting my life
G F/G Em
Give me hellfire eternal when I'm done with this earth
C D
And Satan one more thing please let them buy merch
C
Cause the van is sure thirsty we've got a long way to drive
D
And we better get going or we won't make it on time
Chorus:
C D
It's a broken down dream but we call it a life
G F/G Em
Like a circus performer who swallows the knife
C
Just to spit out the handle and choke on the blood
D
It's a broken a broken down dream but we pray it's enough
C D x4
Am
And the stranded bored and stagnant they point to their chains
C
And in hushed tortured voices ask how dare we complain
Am
They think the damnationon it comes standing still
C
But we know all too well it's this distance that kills
Am
All the flowers and crosses that haunt these roadsides
C D
And we swear sometimes it's like swallowing knives
Chorus:
C D
It's a broken down dream but we call it a life
G F/G Em
Like a circus performer who swallows the knife
C
Just to spit out the handle and choke on the blood
D
It's a broken a broken down dream but we pray it's enough
