Stolen Car

by Bruce Springsteen



Intro  G  C  G



G              C          G

I met a little girl and I settled down

G                 C                  G

In a little house out on the edge of town

G      C                      G

We got married and swore we'd never part

G                         C?               G

Then little by little we drifted from each other's heart





At first I thought it was just restlessness

That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep

In the end it was something more I guess

That tore us apart and made us weep



G                 C

And I'm driving a stolen car

            G

Down on Eldridge avenue

                C

Each night I wait to get caught

      G

But I never do





She asked if I remembered the letters I wrote

When our love was young and bold

She said last night she read those letters

And they made her feel one hundred years old





And I'm driving a stolen car

On a pitch black night

And I'm telling myself I'm gonna be alright

But I ride by night and I travel in fear

That in this darkness I will disappear
