Actually let me hear that first chord - huh?

I drove a car from New York City
All the way to New Orleans
I was watching at the window
But I don't know what it means

The world is full of contradictions
I nearly quit to reconcile
But when I'm thirsty I drink water
And when I'm hungry I have lunch

And I like the pop songs on the radio
Though they Dm rarely make much sense Bb
And I like cream and I like sugar in my coffee and my
tea
If you know what I mean

Now all my friends are getting sober
You might say downright a-serious
You know they're making themselves better
A-making themselves better just for what?

And I like the pop songs on the radio
Especially when they've got three chords - this one's got four
And I like cream and I like sugar in my coffee and my tea
If you know what I mean

So won't you please lift off your burden
Of searching for significance
And if you're thirsty, drink some water
And if you love me, live with me

when I'm thirsty I drink water
when I'm thirsty I drink water
when I'm thirsty I drink water
when I'm thirsty I drink water
OK, how were the levels then?
