I can feel her fingers runnin'

Maybe this road we're on is the

just like an ink-less well
A                    D                         C

I asked them the questions they expected to hear, like
D*      C*            B*
maybe a killing went down in your town
A
maybe it's the prison or the birth of barbed wire... Joliet
