In case you're wondering where I got it from, it's found on the 'Let Her Cry' CD single. I'm pretty sure that most of the chords and lyrics are correct. Any help, improvements or comments appreciated.

No one ever tells me when or why Oh but my heart can't seem to tell me What would satisfy my mind So I jump into that van just one more time Chorus (and Bass fill) Solo (C Em Am G Am G Em Am F G) I was driving when I heard you call my name It was not like before, not quite the same Oh but my heart can't seem to tell me What would satisfy my mind So I jump into that van just one more time Chorus (Bass fill played twice)
