Вступление
The Overpass
By Ward Davis
Key: C
Fingerstyle
[Verse]
Well he wakes up, nice and dry
Hears the cars and trucks above him rollin by
He lights a cig…Takes a swig
He does this everyday
Wife and kids….weren’t enough
Started running round…drinking way too much
Takin pills…..chasing thrills
Till he lost everything
[Chorus]
Somedays he’s sober long enough to feel regret
But he’ll find a bottle and it won’t last
Cause he can’t bear the thought of what it took to get
From what he had to what he has
Under the Overpass
[Verse]
He prefers….sunshine to rain
Cause the liquor store’s half a mile away
But folks give more…on days it pours
So it works out either way
[Chorus]
Somedays he’s sober long enough to feel regret
But he’ll find a bottle and it won’t last
Cause he can’t bear the thought of what it took to get
From what he had to what he has
Under the Overpass
Instrumental (Am-G-C)
[Chorus 2]
He’s just biding time…the only way he knows
Numbing pain he can’t get past
He’ll be there until he’s got somewhere to go.
But who knows how long he has
[Verse]
Well he wakes up, nice and dry
Hears the cars and trucks above him rollin by
He lights a cig…Takes a swig
He does this everyday
