 For the chorus it remains the same so I like to change it up and cut out the powerful
 chugging up strokes and instead just play a simple strum pattern anything you think you
 sing to I suppose. Then for the bridge after the chorus you play the Intro riff
 the little add on) and then sing “So Come on baby get int” play it again and then “Get
 Just get in” play the riff again and then “Check out the trouble we’re in.”
I'm  driving black on black
 Just got my license back
 I got this feeling  in my veins this train is coming  off the track
 I'll ask polite  if the devil needs a ride
 Because the  angel on my right ain't hanging  out with me tonight
 I'm driving  past your house while you were  sneaking out
 I got the car  door opened up so you can jump  in on the run
 Your mom don't know  that you were missing
 She'd be pissed if  she could see the parts of you  that I've been kissing Screamin'
 No,  we're never gonna quit
 Ain't nothing wrong with it
 Just acting like we're animals
No,  no matter where we go
 'Cause everybody knows
 We're just a couple of animals
 (Intro Riff)
 So come on baby, get in
 (Intro Riff)
 Get in, just get in
 (Intro Riff)
 Check out the trouble we're in
 You're beside me on the seat
 Got your hand between my knees
 And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
 It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear
 But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
 By now, no doubt that we were heading south
 I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
 'Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
 It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
 I'm screamin'
 We were parked out by the tracks
 We're sitting in the back
 And we just started getting busy
 When she whispered "what was that?"
 The wind, I think 'cause no one else knows where we are
 And that was when she started screamin'
 "That's my dad outside the car!"
 Oh please, the keys, they're not in the ignition
 Must have wound up on the floor while
 we were switching our positions
 I guess they knew that she was missing
 As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing
 Screamin'
 So yeah, thats what I've got. Enjoy, go forth woo the ladies and get laid with this
 Nickelback song.
