F#          B              D#m B    F#
It's a vast change in the carpool lane, uh-huh
         F#         B              D#m  B      F#
A subtle lane shift and I'm caught amidst high speeds
G#m                 F#
The soccer moms and me
G#m          F#
Stuck in overdrive


[Chorus]
       B    D#m
It's a long ride
    G#m               F#
But I'm right by your side


[Verse 2]
       F#      B                 D#m B    F#
No one told me that there'd be a test, uh-huh
        F#      B            D#m B   F#
I never studied but I did my best, I think
G#m                 F#
The answers were in ink
G#m             F#
The message was inscribed


[Chorus]
       B    D#m
It's a long ride
    G#m               F#
But I'm right by your side
            G#m               F#
I tell you, I'm right by your side


[Bridge]
B           F#
Oh this mediocrity
G#m                    F#
The sign says, "Got no vacancy"
B                     F#
I know that's just complacency
B  D#m  Bm
Calling me


[Verse 3]
       F#        B             D#m B    F#
It's a fine line marking the divide, uh-huh
        F#    B             D#m B    F#
I could exit, ride into the empty space
G#m                 F#
But then I see your face
G#m                F#
And now I can't describe


[Chorus]
            B    D#m
It's been a long time
    G#m               F#
And I'm right by your side
G#m               F#
I'm right by your side
G#m               F#
I'm right by your side
