You'll Need A New Backseat Driver chords by The New Pornographers

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Am   Dm   Am   Dm   Am   Dm
F   A#   F   C


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

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


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


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

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


Interlude:

Verse:
F                            A#
I've heard you get lots of mileage
             F
Out of the speed of sound
             C
It's how we tracked you down
F                            A#
And in the Morse code of the brake lights
                          F     C       F
You said "so what do you do for fun around here?"
