Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Well  Val and Johnny  out in  break neck wood
 She’s on his nerves  and the car’s  not running  good
 And the  last stations gone  on the radio
 and it’s  late and dark and cold  and it’s  turned to snow
 and the cigarette  lighter warms  his face as he
rolls  down his window to  help keep himself awake
 well back on Laurier well she danced for him
 in a beat up apartment to kris kristopherson
 with a newspaper hat and a t shirt to fight the cold
 till it taken her to get beer well she’d run across the road
 and its one for our friends and too soon to quiet down
 and she kicks off her old shoes and turns the stereo real loud
 slide break
 Well she moved in with him after her room mates were out
 and she had two bags of clothes and a plant and a leather couch
 and they painted the walls and moved the furniture around
 to make a fresh start and he cooked her dinner
 and she bought him beer in the local bar
 and she told long stories
 and he kicked her ass in pool
 and she was working a store job
 and he was going back to school
 well they first met on a back porch in a hurricane
 at a house warming party somebody had on St Urbain
 and it’s late and too cold for her to walk alone
 he was way too drunk for a cab so he drove her home
 and her head rattled against the window in time to Blue Wing
 and he let her off at home and said, “Hey, I’d really love to see you again.”
 piano break
 now they’re out on the highway and they’re running out of gas
 and the windows are frozen and the windshield wipers fly up
 and it’s four in the morning and they both got frozen feet and he drinks
 his ninth cup of coffee and falls asleep
 and she screams the tires skid and he reach’s his arms out to protect her
 as they break through the wall of the bridge and disappear into the river
 piano break
