Intro: E  Abm C#m A 

E 
Taxi driver 
Abm 
You're my shrink for the hour 
C#m                     A 
Leave the meter running 
E 
It's rush hour 
Abm 
So take the streets if you wanna 
C#m                                     A 
Just outrun the demons, could you? 
Am                                      E 
He said "allahu akbar", I told him don't curse me 
A                                               E      E Eb D C 
"bo bo you need prayer", I guess it couldn't hurt me 
C#m                     C#dim7  
If it brings me to my knees 
                E 
It's a bad religion 


                F#m5  
This unrequited love 
        Em      D 
To me it's nothing but 
        E 
A one man cult 
E`                      D      Am 
And cyanide in my styrofoam cup 
E                       D 
I could never make him love me 
Am 
Never make him love me 
Em       
Love 
D 
Love 

E       Abm    C#m    A 

Verse 2 

(chords are the same for verse 1) 

Taxi driver 
I swear I've got three lives 
Balanced on my head like steak knives 
I can't tell you the truth about my disguise 
I can't trust no one 
And you say "allahu akbar", I told him don't curse me 
"bo bo you need prayer", I guess it couldn't hurt me 
If it brings me to my knees 
It's a bad religion 

Chorus 

Outro
 
E               F 
It's a bad religion 
        G 
To be in love with someone 
                A 
Who could never love you 
I know 
E               F 
Only bad religion 
G                       A 
Could have me feeling the way I do 

F# A C E 
B C# E G
