[Verse 1]
A                             F#m                                 G
You can take the wheel I feel like I lost my direction
A                                           F#m                             G
When I look in the rear-view mirror, there is no reflection
A                                           F#m                             G
We’re driving through the blue-dark chasing headlights
A                             F#m                                           G
Staring at the dotted line breeze behind my eyes

All I do is joyride

I’m not stoping at the red lights

I got nowhere to go, tonight
D               Bm
No hands on the steering wheel

The wind in my face, that’s all I feel

[Verse 2]
A                             F#m               G
I had a map, I had a plan, A sense of direction
A                                           F#m                             G
You tore it up and laughed at me, And my expectaions
A                                           F#m                             G
Cold air filling my lungs [I’m] assuaging my goodbyes
A                             F#m                             G
To dreams and sweet illusions, I leave myself behind
