B minorBm             E MajorE     E7E7
He seemed impressed by the way you came in.
B minorBm
"Tell us a story
  E MajorE     E7E7
I know you're not boring"

B minorBm         E MajorE       E7E7
I was afraid that you would not insist.
B minorBm
"You sound so sleepy
   E MajorE       E7E7
just take this, now leave me"

B minorBm
I said please don't slow me down
       E MajorE   E7E7
If I'm going too fast
B minorBm           E MajorE   E7E7
You're in a strange part of our town...

(Chorus)


B minorBm  F# minorF#m  G+G     A augmentedA
Yeah, the night's not over
G+G   A augmentedA   F# minorF#m  B minorBm
You're not trying hard enough,
   F# minorF#m  G+G    A augmentedA
Our lives are changing lanes
G+G   A augmentedA   F# minorF#m   B minorBm
You ran me off the road,
 F# minorF#m  G+G A augmentedA
The wait is over
G+G  A augmentedA  F# minorF#m  B minorBm
I'm now taking over,
 F# minorF#m   G+G   A augmentedA
You're no longer laughing
G+G  A augmentedA  G+G  F# minorF#m     B minorBm
I'm not drowning fast enough.

B minorBm

B minorBm          E MajorE    E7E7
Now every time that I look at myself
B minorBm
"I thought I told you
   E MajorE    E7E7
this world is not for you"

B minorBm              E MajorE     E7E7
The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair
B minorBm
"you sound so angry
   E MajorE      E7E7
just calm down, you found me"

B minorBm
I said please don't slow me down
       E MajorE  E7E7
If I'm going too fast
B minorBm            E MajorE   E7E7
You're in a strange part of our town...


(Chorus)
Yeah, the night's not over
You're not trying hard enough,
Our lives are changing lanes
You ran me off the road,
The wait is over
I'm now taking over,
You're no longer laughing
I'm not drowning fast enough.
