[Verse 1]
D Em
This car is a war machine that runs on nicotine and gasoline.
G A
Don’t you fucking know this is the wrong side of the road?
D A Bm G
Who needs brakes when it’s all down hill from here?
F# G A
And if we ain’t died yet, then just maybe we never will.
[Chorus]
D F G Bb C
But i don’t wanna burn out, so won’t you please set me on fire again?
D F G Bb C
I woke up afraid of losing everything; thank god that I already have.
D F G Bb C
So if you love me then listen: mind your own fucking business!
D F G Bb C
If you love me enough to stay, then please love me enough to stay away.

D Em G
I swear on my last cigarette that I’d love you my darling.
A
I’d love you if I could.
D Em G
But since the day I was born, it’s been too late for me to be
A
Anything but what I am tonight.
D A Bm G
And what I am is drunk, and what I am is mean, in your passenger seat.
F# G
Seat belts are for people who have time to die;
A
Hell, I don’t even have time to sleep.
[Chorus]
D F G Bb C
Because I don’t wanna miss a moment of loathing everything that I see.
D F G Bb C
I stay up nights afraid of everything, till all that’s left is the shadows and me.
D F G Bb C
Ask me from sunrise to sunset: no, I ain’t left the house yet.
D F G Bb C
I finally love you enough to stay, enough to stay away.

D F# G A
Aw, shit, I wish I had a job to quit.
D F# G A
I wish I had a boss that I could tell to fuck off.
D F# G A
Give me the satisfaction of a dramatic exit, and not just
D F# G A
A long car ride and a short goodbye in a parking lot.
