C           G        Em
I took the 405 and drove a stake down
           C
into your center
             A
And stated that it's never ever been
 Am            G
better than this

I hung my favorite shirt on the floorboard,
wrinkled up
From pulling pushing and tasting, tasting

Chorus:
Em         A              C
You keep twisting the truth
That keeps me thrown askew

Misguided by the 405, 'cause it lead
me to an alcoholic summer
I missed the exit to your parents' house hours ago
Red wine and the cigarettes
Hide your bad habits underneath the patio,
patio, patio, patio
