You know how I get when I'm lonely
Am
And I think about you and the moment
F

Dm
Foot on the gas
Am
I'm just trying to pass
F
All the red lights
Em7
And the stop signs
Dm
I'm ready to go
Am
Before I get to The Bay Babe, that's
 a problem
F
Because I'm way too scared to call
Em7
And you might get me to stay, and oh

Dm
I don't really mind the drive
Am
But I think I'd rather die

But I'm really not ready girl That's
 a problem
F
'Cause I'm way too scared to fall
