D D7
I guess I'm wired up all wrong, still running on gasoline
G/D G6/D
Fill me up and watch me go to the edge of your screen
D D7
To the end of your street, it's a street with a deal
G/D G6/D
A street with a woman, who's forgotten how to feel
D
And I'm going away too slow
D7/C
Cause there's nowhere left to go
G/B A
Just a man and a car and the radio
D D7
I drive in the night, on a quiet street
G/D G6/D
See two lovers in the doorway, making out in the heat
D D7
She's fighting back all wrong, I guess she wants to give in
G/D G6/D
And he's taking it all, like it's the last day for living
D
And they're doing it real slow
D7/C
Cause there's nowhere left to go
G/B A
Just a man and a woman and the radio
D D7
I stop at the lights, look through the rain
G/D G6/D
Straight through to the bar where some music is playing
D D7
I make out a face, and we stare for a while
G/D G6/D
Then she blows me a kiss, I take off with a smile
D
Cause she's moving real slow
D7/C
Cause there's nowhere left to go
G/B A
Just some people out drinking and the radio
SOLO (chords as verse)
D
I'm going away too slow
D7/F
Cause there's nowhere left to go
G A
Just a man and a car and the radio
D
They're doing it real slow
D7/C
Cause there's nowhere left to go
G/B A
Just a man and a woman and the radio
D
We're all moving real slow
D7/C
Cause there's nowhere left to go
G/B A
Just us and the world and the radio
