A                 E/B  F#m7
Pick me up, eight o'clock
              E/G#    A         E/B   F#m7   E/G#
i'll meet you on the sidewalk
A                    E/B   F#m7
or honk twice, keep it running
                  E              Esus4
i promise not to take long

E        Bm
just my springsteen records
A/C#     D
and the favorite things
    A
my blue jean jacket
           E          Bm
and the clothes i'm in
                 A/C#  D
and one million good reasons
                A        E/B   F#m7   E/G#
to hit the car ceiling

A          E/B  F#m7
don't stop, go deep
              E/G#    A         E/B   F#m7   E/G#
we can sleep when we get there
A                   E/B     Fm7
we'll take turns at the wheel
                 E                Esus4
just go, take us anywhere
E          Bm
i took my good-luck nickel
A/C#   D
and a pair of shades
            A
i want to trade this winter
          E           Bm
for the sunny days
           A/C#  D
or whatever the season
             A
i'm gonna breathe in

F#m7    E/G#   A       E/B     F#m7    E/G#

and ain't it funny how the rain
                        A/C#
keeps running down the windshield
                      Bm
i'm still holding my doorkeys
A6/9                       E/G#         Esus4
i should throw them in the backseat
E          Bm
among the hard luck stories
A/C#     D
and the long lost dreams
     A
the six-pack wrappers
         E          Bm
and the bad ideas
           A/C#  D
or whatever is keeping
         E/G#        Esus4
me from sleeping

E        Bm
i let a good girl go
A/C#    D
with a bad excuse
      A
the radio's playing
      E
that rich kid's blues

Bm
and i don't know
      A/C#  D
what the song is about
        A
i take real deep hits
         E
just to shut them out
                Bm
and there's a great big hole
 A/C#       D
where my dreams once fit
          A
give me three, four minutes
        E             Esus4      E
and i'm over it

Bm       A/C#     D
whatever they're singing
Bm       A/C# D
whatever that girl said
F#m             E
whatever i was thinking
                  Bm          A/C#   D
A        E/B     F#m7     E/G#  A   E/B  F#m7
     E/G#        A
hey man, are we there yet?
E/B     F#m7     E/G#  A   E/B

F#m7 E/G#        Dadd9
hey man, are we there yet?
