Bruce Springsteen

Text File

Intro:

C, B-flat, E-flat (this is repeated many times, with C, then A-flat being played in the 
over and over)

the last time before the verse goes as follows:  C, B-flat, E-flat, C

    C
I'm riding down Kingsley,
                    B-flat, A-flat, B-flat
Figuring I'll get a drink
 C
Turn the radio up loud,
                    B-flat, A-flat, B-flat
So I don't have to think,

   C
I take her to the floor,
                                           A-flat
Looking for a moment when the world seems right,
        B-flat
And I tear into the guts,
     A-flat         B-flat         A-flat
Hmmm of something in the night

C, B-flat, E-flat A couple times

                    C
You're born with nothing,
    E-flat        B-flat   A-flat
And better off that way,
                C
Soon as you've got something they send
                            B-flat A-flat B-flat
Someone to try and take it away,
          C
You can ride this road 'till dawn,
                                A-flat
Without another human being in sight,
          B-flat
Just kids wasted on
     A-flat          B-flat        A-flat
Hmmm something in the night

B-flat
Nothing is forgotten or forgiven,
                    A-flat           Eflat, A-flat, B-flat
When it's your last time around,
B-flat
I got stuff running around 'round my head
                        C   D7  D
That I just can't live down

(No instruments other than the drums are playing during the next 8 lines.  The notes he 
are the same as the other verse, except bruce sings in E-flat instead of C)

When we found the things we loved,

They were crushed and dying in the dirt

We tried to pick up the pieces,

And get away without getting hurt,

But they caught us at the state line,

And burned our cars in one last fight,

And left us running burned and blind,

Hmm chasing something in the night

C, B-flat, E-flat until the end.
