A minorAm  DmDm  A minorAm  DmDm  A minorAm  DmDm
FF  A#A#  FF  C majorC


Verse:
FF              A#A#
I've heard you get lots of mileage
       FF
Out of the speed of sound
       C majorC
It's how we tracked you down
FF              A#A#
And in the Morse code of the brake lights
          FF
In the message it's uttering
        C majorC
The medium is everything
FF                A#A#
It says "You're set free or you get my love"
            FF    C majorC   FF
But what else would you do for fun around here?

Chorus:
        DmDm A minorAm        D#D# A#A#
If you're gonna travel and never arrive there
        DmDm A minorAm  D#D# A#A#
You'll need a backseat driver


Verse:
FF            A#A#
Every turn is timed and torn up
            FF
It's the language of quick goodbyes
        C majorC
And they will metastasize
FF              A#A#
And in the Morse code of the brake lights
        FF
Repeating and stuttering
          C majorC
Are the words of a child king:
FF              A#A#
"You can't make me, I won't do this"
        FF   C majorC   FF
So what do you do for fun around here?

Chorus:
        DmDm A minorAm        D#D# A#A#
If you're gonna travel and never arrive there
        DmDm A minorAm  D#D# A#A#
You'll need a backseat driver
        DmDm A minorAm        D#D# A#A#
If you're gonna travel and never arrive there
        DmDm A minorAm  D#D# A#A#
You'll need a backseat driver

Bridge:
      FF
And I'll grow back into it
       DmDm
I know it's time that we got going
FF              C majorC
Though it's unsafe at every speed
     FF
And I'll grow back into it
       DmDm
I know it's time that we got going
FF              C majorC
Though it's unsafe at every speed
