Guitar One plays lead fills based on the chords, or mimics them an octave higher,
sometimes with an off-beat rhythm


I looked up and you were there
Am              G
Just sitting there all alone
Am                     Em            
Holding your fist in the air
Am                G

Am                C

Repeat Chorus

Verse Two
You Drove me home in a snowy tomb
Am                      G
I fell asleep in my seat
Am                Em
I had the dream of having no room
Am                  G
You were there just staring at me
Am                             C

Repeat Chorus
At the lonely end of the rink
you and me
At the lonely end of the rink
you and me
