Intro 1
(D major) (A major)
Verse 1
Jackie skates across the freeway (A major)
Like a suicide in steel (Asus4) (A major)
Scatters ashes of her memory
To the wind behind (Asus4) the wheel
It's the road (D major) that makes
the rhythm
It's the chalk marks on her soul (A major) (Asus4)
It's the task that he's been (D major) given

Interlude 1
To keep her memory whole
(A major) (Asus4) (G major)
(A major)
Verse 2
She was younger than forever (A major)
She was older than goodbye (Asus4) (A major)
And she never saw the trucker
As he wove across the line (Asus4)
Just an (D major) other L.A. drifter
With the freeway in her (A major) blood (Asus4)
And she never knew what (A major) hit her (D major)
When she ran right out
of luck (A major)
(Asus4) (A major)
Verse 3
It was Jackie called the parents
It was (Asus4) Jackie won the prize (D major) (A major)
It was Jackie fed the silence
(Asus4) When they could not meet his eyes
It was (D major) Jackie took the body
It was Jackie packed
her stuff (A major) (Asus4)
And he never really loved (D major) her
Interlude 2
Though he liked her well enough
(A major)
Verse 4
Sometimes at night he sees (A major) her
From the corner (Asus4) of his eye (A major)
And he's just about to tell her
That he has no (Asus4) alibi
It's (D major) fate that makes the moment
That's what he wants to cry (A major) (G major)
But the words he needs
are frozen (D major)
He can't even say goodbye
(A major) (Asus4) (A major) (Asus4) (A major)
Verse 5
(A major) Jackie
skates across the freeway
Like a suicide in steel (Asus4) (A major)
Scatters ashes of her memory
To the wind behind the wheel (Asus4)
