* x4
I have to drive
I have my reasons, dear
Its cold outside
I hate the seasons here
I suffer mornings most of all
I feel so powerless and small
By ten oclock Im back in bed
Fighting the jury in my head
You learn to drive
Its only natural, dear
You drive all night
We havent slept in years
We suffer mornings most of all
We saw you lying in the road
We tried to dig a decent grave
But its still no way to behave
It is a delicate position
Spin the bottle
Pick the victim
Catch a tiger
Switch directions
If he hollers
Break his ankles
To protect him
Well have to drive
Theyre getting closer
Just get inside
Its almost over
We will save your brothers
We will save your cousins
We will drive them far away
From streets and lights
From all signs of bad mankind
x2
We suffer mornings most of all
Wake up all bleary eyed and sore
Forgetting everything we saw
(Ill meet you in an hour
at the car)
D* = I usually play a D for the first half of these measures and a Dmaj7 for the second
which makes a nice transition to the A (and sounds closer to what Amanda does on the piano).
