Am    G                        C
I was gonna leave this morning
Am     G             C       Am
Just a little after 9
G                        C       
Things didn’t go according to the
                       Am
 plan
          G                    C  
That I laid out in my mind
         Am

G                       C         
I let go of some things
 Am

   G                         C    
That I held dear to me
          Am

                 G                 
So I could turn them into gasoline
   C                 Am

        G                          
And I walked them down my street
         C



[Chorus]

        F                C
So I slept in my car
       G                     Am G
In a parking lot not far
            F                C    
From a place that I called home
        G

       F                           
And I woke up with the dawn
  C

         G                         
And I turned the engine on
    Am   G    F

        C                  G
And I kept driving along

Am          G                    
Mum and Dad moved back to England
          C            Am

             G                     
I guess Virginia did them wrong
    C                Am

                  G                
There ain’t nothing me or my 
          C                        
sisters can say to them
        Am

                      G            
That’s gonna help them get along
        C          Am



     G                            
So now their house is empty
C       Am

                 G                 
Filled with people I don’t know
   C       Am

        G                       
So I drove right past the exit I 
     C                           Am
used to take
        G                         C
That used to lead me home


[Chorus]

        F                C
So I slept in my car
       G                     Am G
In a parking lot not far
            F                C    
From a place that I called home
        G

       F                           
And I woke up with the dawn
  C

         G                         
And I turned the engine on
    Am   G    F

        C                   G
And I kept driving along

[Bridge]

          F
So I’ll find a place where all the 
local drunks go
     C
I’ll sit at the bar on my own
     F
I’ll drink whatever they pour for me
      C                     G
So I can get some sleep

[Chorus] (KEY CHANGE)

        G              D
So I slept in my car
       A                   Bm A
In a parking lot not far
           G               D      
From a place that I called home
      A

       G                           D
And I woke up with the dawn
         A                         
And I turned the engine on
    Bm   A    G

        D                   A
And I kept driving along
      G      D         A
Oh I kept driving on
