If you’re playing on your own, they’re not necessary, but if you have the skill

but it can be tricky.

When you left this town, with your windows down

Let the exits pass, all the tar and glass

‘Til the road and sky align

The strangers in this town,

They raise you up just to cut you down
G Dm C
Oh Angela it’s a long time coming

G Dm
And your Volvo lights lit up green and white

With the cities on the signs

But you held your course to some distant war

In the corners of your mind

From the second time around

The only love I ever found

These riffs can be used by a second guitar to add a little something to the song.
If you’re playing on your own, they’re not necessary, but if you have the skill
level to incorporate the into the chords, it makes the song sound more complete,
but it can be tricky.
Riff 1 – plays throughout whole song except last two lines where riff two is played

G |————————————-|
