Verse:
A5                E5            F#5            D5
Tonight i fell ambitious and so does my foot as it sinks on the
A5       B5              D5    A5              E5
pedal. I press it to the floor.  I dont need a girl dont need a
F#5                    D5           A5                  B5
friend cause my friend lonesome's unconditional.  We're flying
D5    A5          E5            F#5          D5
forever bored.  And for a moment I love everything I see and think
A5             B5              D5     A5             E5
and feel I love my broken sideview mirror.  Cause its so perfect
F#5                D5                 A5       B5
Im so perfect your're so perfect you're not here.  I hear the
D5
change in gears .

Chorus:

E                       D5                 E
My pile shakes as I hit eighty on the open road.  This is an open
D5
road song.

Verse #2 (palm muted):
A5               E5          F#5             D5
The night is beckoning although I have nowhere to go but home.
A5        B5        D5 A5          E5           F#5
Feels good to be alone. With every turn comes a new frame of mind
D5            A5            B5
if I could frame my mind where would it hang?

[Chorus]

Verse #3 (No guitar just feedback):

I crack a window and feel the and feel the cool air cleanse my

every pore as I pour my poor heart out.  To a radio song thats

patient and willing to listen.  My volume drowns it out.

[Pick scratch]

Verse #4:
A5               E5                  F#5             D5
Yeah But that's okay because I sound better than him anyway any
A5      B5                D5   A5             E5
day.  Yeah my voice is sweet as salt.  I search for comfort and I
F#5               D5                   A5             B5
find it where Ive found it many times before.  Times before can be
D5
forgotten. Yeah

[Chorus]
