Am
Small time boy
       F
Caught in the big city
       Dm
Losing all my joy
      E
For a life that don't fit me

Am               F
Got the same old dreams
             Dm
As a million fools

Stacks of green
    E
And swimming pools

[Bridge]
Am            F
And I used to swear upon wisdom
Dm                E
You got brains to spare you gotta give some
Am              F
I kick back and flare my ignition
Dm           E
It's time to ride

[Chorus]
Am             F     Dm   E
When I need to feel alive
  Am             F       Dm    E
I just get in my car and drive
     Am                F        Dm     E
When life it starts to break my stride
  Am             F       Dm    E
I just get in my car and ride

[Verse]
        Am                F
From an open window and a stolen ride
       Dm                   E
Came a broken lifter with a fallen pride
          Am
And now I walk beside
   F
Psychotic guides
   Dm                           E
To listen to their whines and maniacal cries

            Am
Worship the dollar and cent
                F
White collar dissent
               Dm
You holler and vent
                   E
Over the most tiny moderate dent
        Am
In your mountains of gold
                  F
Accounts that you hold
                    Dm
You're wound up and old
                       E
Young blood - man that fountain is cold

[Bridge]
Am            F
And I used to swear upon wisdom
Dm                E
You got brains to spare you gotta give some
Am              F
I kick back and flare my ignition
Dm           E
It's time to ride

[Chorus]
Am             F     Dm   E
When I need to feel alive
  Am             F       Dm    E
I just get in my car and drive
     Am                F        Dm     E
When life it starts to break my stride
  Am             F       Dm    E
I just get in my car and ride

[Interlude]
Am                      F
 What you doin what you doin what you gettin into
Dm                      E
 What you doin what you doin what you gettin into
Am                      F
 What you doin what you doin what you gettin into
Dm                      E
 What you doin what you doin what you gettin into

[Chorus]
    Am             F     Dm   E
And When I need to feel alive
  Am             F       Dm    E
I just get in my car and drive
     Am                F        Dm     E
When life it starts to break my stride
  Am             F       Dm    E
I just get in my car and ride

[Outro]
Am    F              Dm
Oooh, yeah yeah yeah yeah
E                  Am     F            Dm
I'm gonna drive my blues away, yeah yeah
E               Am        F Dm
 Gonna drive my blues away
E             Am        F Dm E
 Just another sunny day
Am F Dm E (x2)
