Route 23

E                                      B7
When I read this mornings headlines I saw your name
                                                E
And it mentioned just two others that share your fame
    A                                             E
In another fourteen days you would have married me
B7                                             E
Now there's nothing but a cross out on route 23

[Verse 2]

E                                                 B7
Well I walked that stretch of pavement where you breathed your last
                                              E
Run my fingers though the gravel & the broken glass
    A                                        E
They told me not to come here, but I had to see
B7                                             E
All that's left of what was once mine on route 23

[Verse 3]

E                                         B7
Well I'm a goin' to your funeral then I'm goin' away
                                           E
Without you here beside me it's no use to stay
     A                                 E
Everything I had ain't nothing but a memory
B7                                      E
And a cross marks the spot out on route 23
