Elliott Smith

Dancing On The Highway

here if you want me
Am** G Bm Bbm
listening so close from far away
memorizing what you told me
Am** G Bm Bbm
like a foreigner on holiday
smiling at confusion
Am** G Bm Bbm
talking to the speaker that i see
dancing on the highway
Am** G Bm Bbm
the broken line that leads from you to me
well i'll be at my station all night
so come on by, if you feel like
still here if you want me
Am** G Bm Bbm
look at what i can do with empty time
lost love and words that haunt me
Am** G Bm Bbm
isnt this flat wrong, to sound sublime
one strike in the mural
Am** G Bm Bbm
planting it to place like someones kiss
a dead calm on the tranquil
Am** G Bm Bbm
sea between you and me, well thats all that is
but im here if you want me my love
dancing on the highway
=====================================================
[Break into the solo!, its mostly just a powerful
[downstroke, and using your ring/middle fingers to
[kinda pluck/strum the B and G strings of various
[degrees and volumes. You kinda have to screw around
[and listen to the song, but here are the notes with
[the hammer-on he does. ! = make this string sound
[in the strumming! Listen to the song for the rhythm.

your sun still in my sky
G Bm** Bbm** C/G
oh why, oh why

[OR...
=====================================================
C/G C Am**
your sun still in my sky
G** Bm** Bbm** C/G
oh why, oh why
