Closer to the Truth
**updated 5/16/09**
Not sure about the one chord in the chorus, and what I'm playing I can't even find
a name for the chord, I'll just call it D#6 for the purpose of making out the tab for now.

ERibbons went flying out the window
As we dA5rove down the interstate
ESex was something so brand new
It was A5hard as hell to wait
EShe made faces at the goddamn rednecks
They say, A5look at you boy.. You must worship satan
EJust because I had the same long hair
asA5 the jesus in all their paintings
F#5Yeah but church just made me Ascared of words like
E5sermon, faith, and D#6congregation
F#5in a world with so many Aanswers left
E5why do I need so many D#6explanations
F#5to get closer to the G#5truth and further from A5the sky
F#5and the static singes the sApeakers
E5like a thousand hymns of iD#6nspiration
F#5the road just winds through the Acanyon like
a bE5ig black snake headed for sD#6alvation
F#5I'm getting closer to the G#5truth and further from A5the sky
Same pattern through the rest of the song for verses and choruses
-------------------------
A roadside venue wallpapered in menus
In a town that forgot it's own name
We were hungry for anything that had a pulse
As we freed ourselves from the rain
There's a disgruntled metalhead playing guitar
For a pop singer up on the screen
With his head slung low and guitar slung high
He just wants a chance to be seen
He tells me at the bar that he's on his last leg
That he used to have it all in his hands
And the girls don't think much of him these days
Which is hard for him to understand
Cuz he's a little bit old and a little bit thin
But he still has his heart in a sling
We pay for the drinks and the bartender drinks
And it couldn't be more late, yeah we're all so late
