Capo is not really needed but it sounds nice to play some of the chords with the open first string sometimes.
[Verse]
C#m
You tell me I can’t slow down
B
You tell me where I’ve gotta be
A
I speed into the darkness
B C#m
But I swear that I can’t see a thing in front of me
B
You know it’s true
A
I’m not driving anymore
B
I can’t keep up with you
C#m
You’re closing in behind me
B
I’ve got headlights in my eyes
A
Don’t you get too close to me
B C#m
Can’t you see that we’ll collide and end up casualties
B
There’s just no room
A
I’m not driving anymore
B
I can’t keep up with you
[Chorus]
A
So leave me on my own
B C#m
Run me down and race away from me
A
I’ve got nowhere to go to
B
I don’t think I can get back on my feet, back on my feet
[Verse]
C#m
You came right out of nowhere
B
Eyes wide and terrified
A
And I can’t put my brakes on
B C#m
I can’t swerve to save your life ‘cause then I’ll lose control
B
And I can’t choose
A
I’m not driving anymore
B
I can’t keep up with you
[Chorus]
A
So leave me on my own
B C#m
Run me down and race away from me
A
I’ve got nowhere to go to
B
I don’t think I can get back on my feet, back on my feet
[Verse]
C#m
Get me out of harm’s way
B
Can’t you see I’m paralyzed
A
I wanna fade out gracefully
B C#m
But you keep keeping me alive to face another day
B
Can’t you see I’m through
A
I’m not driving anymore
B
I can’t keep up with you
C#m
Tell me how long have I got
B
I want to end this earthly toil
A
Till this mad life expires
B
I wanna go swimming in the soil
C#m
And not come up for breath
B
Sit in God’s room
A
I’m not driving anymore
B
I can’t keep up with you
C#m
I’m unfit for consumption
B
I don’t know how to play my part
A
I swear I’m all alone in this thing
B C#m
A blind man driving my car into oblivion
B
Let it come soon
A
I’m not driving anymore
B
I can’t keep up with you
