[Verse]
D Dmaj7 Em
In the back-seat of my heart.
D Dmaj7 Em G
My love tells me I'm a mess.
D Dmaj7 Em
I couldn't get the car to start.
D Dmaj7 Em G
I left my keys somewhere in the mess.

D Dmaj7 Em G
It comes and goes in plateaus, one month later I'm a fucking pro.
D Dmaj7 Em
My parents would be proud
G D Dmaj7 Em
Oh, fall asleep on the floor, forget what happened in the morning
G D Dmaj7 Em
There are notes in your handwriting, so you can make it out

[Chorus]
G5 D5
We are not a proud race
A5 F#5
It's not a race at all
E5
We're just trying
D5 A5
I'm only trying to get home
A5
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers.
G5 D5
This is not a good thing
A5 F#5
I don't mean to rationalise
E5 D5
Or try and explain it away
A5
It's not okay
A5
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers

[Verse]
D Dmaj7 Em9
Its too late to articulate it
D Dmaj7 Em9 G
That empty feeling
D Dmaj7 Em9
We share the same fate as the people you hate
D Dmaj7 Em9
You built yourself up against others feelings
G D
Then it left you feeling empty
Dmaj7 Em9
As a car coasting down hill
G
I have become such a negative person
D Dmaj7
It was all just an act
Em9 G
It was all so easily stripped away
D Dmaj7
But if we learn how to live like this
Em9 G
Maybe we can learn how to start again
D Dmaj7
Like a child who has never done wrong
Em9
Who hasn't taken that first step

[Chorus]
G5 D5
We are not a proud race
A5 F#5
It's not a race at all
E5
We're just trying
D5 A5
I'm only trying to get home
A5
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers.
G5 D5
Put it out of your mind
A5 F#5
And perish the thought
E5 D5
There's no comfort in responsibility
A5
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers.

G D
It doesn't have to be like this
A Em
It doesn't have to be like this
G D
It doesn't have to be like this
A Em
Killer whales, killer whales
G D
It doesn't have to be like this
A Em
It doesn't have to be like this
G D
It doesn't have to be like this
A Em
Killer whales, killer whales

G5 D5
Is that voice in your head
A5 F#5
Giving you shit again?
E5
But you know he loves you
D5 A5
and he doesn't mean to cause you pain
G5 D5
Please listen to him
A5 F#5
It's not too late
E5
Turn off the engine
D5 A5
Get out of the car and start to walk
A5
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers, drunk drivers, drunk drivers

G D
It doesn't have to be like this
A Em
It doesn't have to be like this
G D
It doesn't have to be like this
A Em
Killer whales, killer whales
G D
It doesn't have to be like this
A Em
It doesn't have to be like this
G D
It doesn't have to be like this
A Em
Killer whales, killer whaaaaaaaales
