Intro: 
C*      4x  

C*                                                    
    Driving through the long night 
C*                                                    
    Trying to figure who's right 
           Am7*                                          
and who's        wrong 
                 C*                                    
Now the kid has      gone 

C*                                                    
    I sit belted up tight 
C*                                                    
    She sucks on a match light 
         Am7*                                            
glowing       bronze 
             C*                                        
   steering      on 

       F                        Fmaj7/b5                         
And I     might be more a man  
      Gadd4                       G                          
if I        stopped this in it's     tracks and said 
      Am7*                                               
come        on 
          C*         C*                                   
let's go      home 
     F*                                                
But     she's got the wheel  
     G*                                                
And     I've got nothing  
      G*                    Am7*                             
ex -      cept what I have       on
