voice dry and hoarse

i don't know what to do with your clothes or your letters

it'll make a whisper out of you

     /B Cmaj7
the fairground's lit

a drunk man sits by the gate she's driving through

got his hat tipped bot - tle back  in between his teeth

i wish that car had never been discovered
      E             G              Am
they took away the bottle and the hat he was under
E           G             Am
that's the one thing that he could never do
           E      D              C /B /C /G /F# /F

looking for some kind of clue

blowing smoke from my cigarette
        Am    Asus4 Am Bm  F#            Am /B  C
little whisper smoke  signs  that you'll never get
E              G          Am
you're in your oldsmobile driving by the moon
E           G             Am
headlights burning bright ahead of you
    E                  G          Am
and someone's burning out, out on condor ave
           E     D               C /B /C /G /F# /F
trying to make a whisper out of you
E               G       
what a shitty thing to say
Am

    E             G          Am
you never said a word to me about what passed between us
E                   G
so now i'm leaving you alone
        Am
you can do whatever the hell you want to
