Intro:  C   D   G5   C   C   D   G5  C  
D G5 C
CSome nights I can't fDeel my bGeating Cheart,
CI've got a second-hand body Dmade with Gjunk-yard Cparts.
CAn ink-blot head that mDakes it Ghard to Ccare,
CBroke-down hands won't gDet me G5anywheCre.
CBut when I drive this Dcar to Gwork
CI feel like I'm going places,
CLandscapes all arDound me sGeem to cChange.
CAnd when I drive this Dcar to Gwork
CI feel like I'm made of something,
CSome day things will Dstart to Ggo my Cway.
CI spend my evenings Dlying Gon this Ccouch,
CCountin' all the crDacks in Gthis old Chouse.
CTV dinner Dboxes Gon the Cfloor,
CI'm down 'cause you don't Dlive here G5anymoCre.
CBut when I drive this Dcar to Gwork
CI feel like I'm going places,
CLandscapes all arDound me sGeem to cChange.
CAnd when I drive this Dcar to Gwork
CI feel like I'm made of something,
CSome day things will Dstart to Ggo my Cway.

C D G5 C C D G5 C

Intro:

D G5 C

C D G C

Some nights I can't feel my beating heart,

C D G C

I've got a second-hand body made with junk-yard parts.

C D G C

An ink-blot head that makes it hard to care,

C D G5 C

Broke-down hands won't get me anywhere.

C D G

But when I drive this car to work

I feel like I'm going places,

C D G C

Landscapes all around me seem to change.

C D G

And when I drive this car to work

I feel like I'm made of something,

C D G C

Some day things will start to go my way.

C D G C

I spend my evenings lying on this couch,

C D G C

Countin' all the cracks in this old house.

C D G C

TV dinner boxes on the floor,

C D G5 C

I'm down 'cause you don't live here anymore.

C D G

But when I drive this car to work

I feel like I'm going places,

C D G C

Landscapes all around me seem to change.

C D G

And when I drive this car to work

I feel like I'm made of something,

C D G C

Some day things will start to go my way.
