  They're saying there's flash floods
                  E                           F#
I'm stoned on the highway, gripping the wheel

  And no I don't miss you
                    E                        F#
But I wish you were driving, I know you could handle this
B                   G#m           E    F#
 Much better than you could handle me

Pre-Chorus:
    F#     B               G#m
Oh, I sure thought I could handle

And for the first time in a while, I'm terrified
                G#m     F#     E
And I wanna get home in one piece
     G#m     F#         E
I've finally found some peace

God, if you're up there

Please don't take this away from me

Wrinkled and grey when it's all over

I've finally found some peace

In what I've got down here

God, it's worth it to me
