There's static on the radio, where the lightning breaks the sky.
   C        F       C     F        C      G     C
It makes it hard to sing along, no matter how I try.
    F         F        C            F      C          F        G - G7
And I saw you dancing across the skyline tonight with somebody new.
    C        F           C        F        C         G       C
And you were singing the songs to him that I used to sing to you.
         F           G        C         F            C          C          G - G7
And it's twenty-five miles an hour, the rain dancing off of the old window screen.
  C         F          C        F                C    G          C
I think I'm gonna miss you much more than you're ever gonna miss me,
F                C    G          C
Hey, than you're ever gonna miss me.

I remember bright, shining eyes and two hearts burning on fire.
Brand new shirts on Saturday nights "I love you" 's that never got tired.
And quietly now the tune gets slower, the old fiddle bow is straining.
And finally, you don't like the songs anymore, all you can change is the station.
And it's sixty-five miles an hour, the rain dancing off of the old window screen.
I think I'm gonna miss you much more than you're ever gonna miss me,
Hey, than you're ever gonna miss me.

I got a friend lives down by the river, likes to be alone.
Sometimes I wonder that he doesn't go crazy, but it only goes to show.
And like the stone that won't roll with the stream, it always stays the same.
And somebody said with a tear in his eye, you're better off anyway.
And it's ninety-nine miles an hour, the rain dancing off of the old window screen.
I think I'm gonna miss you much more than you're ever gonna miss me,
Hey, than you're ever gonna miss me.
