Intro: Dm 
 
Dm 
Don't you wanna go for a ride 
 
Just keep your hands inside 
 
And make the most out of life 
			   G 
Now don't you take it for granted 
Dm 
Life is like a mean machine 
 
It made a mess outta me 
 
And left me caught between 
			   G 
Like an angry dream I was stranded 
 
I was stranded, yeah yeah yeah 
	 Bb 
And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake 
	C			       
And I don't know how much more I can take 
 
Dm 
This is it now 
 
Everybody get down 
Bb

Dm 
You take a hit now  
 
You feel it break down 
Bb		 
Make you stay wide awake 
C			    Dm

Dm 
Don't you wanna go for a ride 
 
Down to the other side 
 
Feels so good you could cry 
			G 
Now won't you do what I told you 
Dm 
I remember when you used to be shy 
 
Yeah, once we were so fine 
				   G 
You and I why you gotta make it so hard on me 
 
Yeah, it's hard on me 
	Bb 
And I'm sorry but it's not a mistake 
	C			    
And I'm running but you're getting away

			  C 
Never was never cared too much for all this hanging around 
Am		C		 Am		   
It's just the same thing all the time 
			     C 
Never get what I want, never get you close to the end of the line 
Am		C 
You're just the same thing that I knew  
Dm 
Right before the time when I was only for you
