G                                   C               G 
I'll tell you 'bout the driver that lives inside my head 
G                C            Em           D 
starts me up and stops me and puts me into bed 
G                             C              G 
he opens up my mouth when its time for me to talk 
G               C                        G 
and fires up my legs when he wants me to walk 

 
 
C             G     C               G 
Keeps my eyes open  for most of the day 
C          G          Em            D 
adds to my memory the things people say 
C               G        C               Em 
when he makes decisions  I don't have to wait 
C                                                    G 
and sometimes it seems that he's got too much on his plate 

Like this morning when I woke up and he dressed me in this shirt 
it looks a little ragged when he dragged me through the dirt 
I'm moving through this life and I'm thinking 'bout the next 
I'm hoping when I get there I'll be better dressed 

Chorus repeated with last line replaced with: 
G 
I'll tell you 'bout the driver 
C                    G 
that lives inside my head
