 F#m   E   D(x2)
F#m E D A
ATake my hand and take my heart
I F#mshiver when you're Dhere
ADeliver me from everything that F#mdrives me, oh my Ddear
AAccelerate your pain
White B7knuckles on the wheel again
DShut your mouth, let's move on out of Ahere
AJust try and keep it light
Or B7someone may get hurt tonight
Don't Dtalk that way, don't talk that way, don't Atalk that way 
AHold it there a second
Let me F#mdump this stupid Dpride
I'm Aready for you sweet-heart
Now my F#mmind is open Dwide

Your B7concentration paramount
ReDmember what was meant to be this Ayear
The Apast is a disaster and
