I was stupid enough to throw my life away on music, like it was that simple.
A                               E
But if singing changed anything, they'd make it illegal. 
C#m                                 A       C#m                     B
I hate strangers, loud noises, and crowds. I'll play a show every night. 
E                                                    A                     E
And would you, and would you believe there are people who come to me for advice? 
B                              A                     E         B       A     E
I'm driving fast as the car can go, because I'm going home.

I was desperate enough for the feeling of pushing back to jump into the streets. 
A                                E 
The cops have us all surrounded; hear them gnashing their teeth. 
C#m                       A     C#m                   B
Ready now, bail down the alley when we hit the next light. 
E                                                    A                  E
And would you, and would you believe there are people who ask me how to fight? 
B                                 A                 E         B    A    E
I'm running fast as these legs can go, and I'm going home.

Five years ago I was broken enough to just shut the fuck up. 
A                                      E
I got sober by going to rehab, and not arguing so much for once. 
C#m                        A       C#m                   B
Punk rockers ask me how I did it, hoping for an easier way. 
E                                                         A              E
And would you, and would you believe that they don't like what I have to say? 
B                           A                    E
I pray as much as an atheist can, and then I walk home. 
B                              A                     E
I'm driving fast as the car can go, because I'm going home.
