Hell Of A Ride

V1
Everyone said he was a mistake
Like a shell game grifter he manipulates
What he broke is never gonna heal
Something fake that I thought was real


C#2

It was a hell of a ride
I was chasing a high
Tight wire walking in tune
Love of my life
Never thought about why
Lost in time
It was a hell of a ride
Lost in time
It was a hell of a ride

Verse 2:

Teenage me didn’t know a heartbreak
Or how smooth operators operate
My forever was a one week fling
Floating high on cotton candy dreams

C

It was a hell of a ride
I was chasing a high
Tight wire walking in tune
One week of my life
Never thought about why
Lost in
It was a hell of a ride
Lost in time
It was a hell of a ride


Instrumental
C-G D C-G D C-G D A C-D G (1 measure then walk down)

Bridge
Em C G-D
A night in his arms was worth the hurt
Em C D
Sometimes the memory’s worth the burn

C#2
It was a hell of a ride
I was chasing a high
Tight wire walking with you
Lost in time
It was a hell of a ride
Lost in time
It was a hell of a ride
