D MajorD

     D MajorD      G+G
I've been driving all night
    D MajorD       G+G
Bathing in florescent light
   D MajorD       G+G    A minorAm
Of a western Tennessee gas station
    D MajorD        G+G
With a pack of two-way action
    D MajorD      G+G
I'm subsisting on a fraction
   D MajorD      G+G    A minorAm
And I close my eyes and pretend
    C majorC G+G
I'm on vacation
           D MajorD
But the light bleeds through
       A augmentedA
And it's all green-blue

There goes my imagination


D,G(x3)


  D MajorD          G+G
My return fills me with dread
    D MajorD          G+G
Will my house plants be all dead
   D MajorD       G+G  A minorAm
My significant be with another
    D MajorD      G+G
I say OK where was I
   D MajorD        G+G
But I can't repress a sigh
   D MajorD      G+G
And I think I'm gonna
    A minorAm           C majorC   G+G
Yeah I think I'm gonna call my mother
        D MajorD
Let the subject wander
       A augmentedA
To issues of blonde hair

Or something or other

D,G(x2)
D MajorD

      C majorC
Like a bad haircut
          D MajorD
Or a glass of cold water
      C majorC
Some of the things
            D MajorD
You wouldn't ordinarily thought a
      C majorC         D MajorD
Will all be lost if you let it in
      C majorC         D MajorD
Maybe I'll never ever feel it again


D,G,D,G,D,D,Am (x2)
D,A

Instrumental (Guitar solo):
Alternate between D MajorD and G.


     D MajorD      G+G
I've been driving all night
    D MajorD       G+G
Bathing in florescent light
   D MajorD       G+G    A minorAm
Of a western Tennessee gas station
    D MajorD        G+G
With a pack of two-way action
    D MajorD      G+G
I'm subsisting on a fraction
    D MajorD      G+G
Of what used to be a sugar-free
A minorAm          C majorC   G+G
Half-melted bag of Tastations
        D MajorD
That hard candy sensation
         A augmentedA
It's sweeping the nation
    D MajorD       G+G
And it puts my mind in traction
    D MajorD      G+G
I'm subsisting on a fraction
   D MajorD      G+G    A minorAm
And I close my eyes and pretend
    C majorC  G+G
I'm on vacation
             D MajorD
But while it melts in my mouth
         A augmentedA
I'm still driving south

In a TV Nation


D,G(x2)
D MajorD


      C majorC
Like a bad haircut
          D MajorD
Or a glass of cold water
      C majorC             D MajorD
Shouldn't I say what I really shouldn't oughta
         C majorC
You spend half a day in
       D MajorD
Some of these places
           C majorC
Like a flash of white light
            D MajorD
That's in front of our faces
        C majorC           D MajorD
A augmentedA state of peristalsis or a parastatic stasis
           C majorC
And we're off to the races
  D MajorD            C majorC
Oh yeah and we're off to the races
  D MajorD            C majorC
Oh yeah and we're off to the races
D MajorD           C majorC
