[Intro]
A  A  D  E
A A  D  E

[Verse 1]
         A
I pulled over so you could
puke in the ditch on
         D
 the shoulder
               E
You mumbled, “Live
 and let live”
          A
I’d been sober for
fifteen nights
        D
Man, I hated that bar but
      E
you needed me to drive
      A
So I listened to all your
                  D
 silly reckless opinions
          E
On acid rain and Jane’s
    A
Addiction

Chem trails and baseball
          D
And the daily benefits of
   E
 chopping up Adderall

[Chorus]
 A
Let me get you home,
I’m weakest on the weekend
    D
My Bambi knees are knocking,
      E
 my thirst is steady creeping
        A
I can’t   turn you down,
 I can’t be alone
         D             E
So I’m hearing you out
                       (A)
with the hazard lights on

[Instrumental]
A  A

[Verse 2]
         A
At the drive in, I’m losing
                  D
 my breath, am I dying?
              E
These padded walls in my
                  A
head I’ve been climbing

Can’t find asylum
                      D
I'm still scared of heights,

 man, but I’m thinking
         E
about flying

[Chorus]
     A
    Let me get home,
 I’m weakest on the weekend
        D
    My Bambi knees
 are knocking,
      E
 my thirst is steady screaming
            A
    I can’t   turn you down,
 I can’t be alone
              D            E
    So I’m sweating it out
                        (A)
with the hazard lights on
A                          D  E
    With the hazard lights on

[Bridge 1]
Bm                    D
Five years ago it was all
open road
                 A
Now, I’ve got a tank full
              E
 of gas and nowhere to go
  C#m                   D
I tried going fast, I tried
going slow
      E
Now I idle in neutral
a mile from home
  E
I idle in neutral with
the hazard lights on


[Bridge 2]
           A
Singing, "Let me get home,
 I’m weakest on the weekend
 D                     E
Let me get home, I’m weakest
 on the weekend
 A
Let me get home,
 I’m weakest on the weekend
 D
Let me get home
 E
Let me get home"

[Chorus]
 A
Let me get home,
 I’m weakest on
the weekend
    D
My Bambi knees are knocking,
       E
 my thirst is steady
 screaming
        A
I can’t   turn you down,
 I can’t be alone
          D            E
So I’m sweating it out
                       (A)
 with the hazard lights on

[Outro]
  A
(Let me get home)
           D            E
And I'm sweating it out
                       (A)
 with the hazard lights on
  A
(Let me get home)
           D
And I'm sweating it out
 with the hazard lights on
