But Atonight we'll be free, all the promises will be broken

There were Dghosts in the eyes of aGll the boys that you sDent away Dsus2 D

They haunt these dusty beach roads in the sAkeleton frames of burnGed out Chevrolets

And they scream your name at night in the Astreet

The graduation Dgown lies in rags at thGeir feet

And in the F♯mlonely cold before dawn

You hear theG engines roaring on

But when you Aget to the porch they're gone

On the wiGnd

So Mary climb Emin
