E
I dreamed I drove a stolen car
E Emaj7
Through the field across the yard
A C E
Taking out the fences that I'd built between all my friends
E Emaj7
Through the snow, we shagged again
A C
I said goodbye, waved them on their own
E F#m7 E
I drove all night. I drove alone
[Verse 2]
E
Goodbye suburban mother bone
E Emaj7
For every kid in every home
A C
Beauty becomes you, be who you are
E
If I should rob a corner store
E Emaj7
Or kill a cop who prayed for mercy
A C
Forgive me, I don't know what made me this way
E F#m7 E
But I'll be alright if you'll be okay
[Chorus 1]
C#m E A
Cause sometime it's precious to go. (She'll tell you.)
C#m E A
No matter how smart you are, how could you know? (She'll tell you.)
C#m E A F#m E
It's harder than living, it's harder to drive away
[Verse 3]
E
I don't need anger to make me tough
E Emaj7
Acid scars or marijuana
A C
A dream, a kiss, one final wish
E
A girl who's bent to pay my rent;
E Emaj7
All these things are disappearing
A C
The world is swimming, the stars are bright
E F#m E
I wish I was alone with you tonight
[Chorus 2]
C#m E A
It's lethal, it's painless, and it's slow. (She'll tell you.)
C#m E A
No matter how smart you are, how could you know? (She'll tell you.)
C#m E A F#m E
It's harder than living, it's harder to drive away
