[Intro]
E7

[Verse]
N.C.            E7       Riff #1
Five gears in reverse
E7                   G#7          Riff #2
For girls looking at the big lift
G#7                       E7          Riff #1
Somebody send out for the night nurse
E7                       G#7            Riff #2
Please don't stick me on the late shift
G#7                       A7
If you don't know by now
A7             E7
Nobody’s gonna tell you
E7                        A7
If you don't know by now
A7                          G#7
The shock will probably kill you

[Chorus]
G#7         A
But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide
A      E
You're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide
E       A
And you have no motivation you can't even catch your breath
A           G#              A
All of this acceleration is driving you to
G5 G#5 A5 C5 D5 D#5 E5
death

[Verse]
N.C.            E7       Riff #1
Five gears in reverse
E7                          G#7          Riff #2
You think I don't know what I’m doing
G#7                 E7          Riff #1
Another fashionable first
E7                         G#7           Riff #2
Like walking down the road to ruin
G#7                          A7
But if you're safe and sound
A7                     E7
Don't let me interrupt you
E7                             A7
And if you're gagged and bound
A7                     G#7
Well how can I corrupt you?

[Chorus]
G#7         A
But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide
A      E
You're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide
E       A
And you have no motivation you can't even catch your breath
A           G#              A
All of this acceleration is driving you to
G5 G#5 A5 C5 D5 D#5 E5
death
