[Verse 1]
riff 1         A              E7 E
Why would you drive for the highway?
riff 1         A             E Esus E
You look half alive and so tired
    C#m                  A      E
It can be good, but it's just a job


[Verse 2]
riff 1        A      F#m   E     Esus E
I am not that big on being manly
riff 1        A               F#m                  E     E7 E
I am not that big on standing one thing on top of another
E          C#m                 A
But what I do like about this job
A               E                A
is that there's no one standing around
A           E                 A                 E   Esus E
to bring me down, to bring me down, to bring me down


[Chorus]
Bm/F#                   A     E
I've got my sleek red canoe   on top of the cab
Bm/F#                        A      E
Gonna take it down after the Sault, when the sun's comin' up
E                 B                       E    E7 E
there's nothing I like that's better than that


[Verse 3]
riff 1        A     F#m   E           Esus E
I'll write a letter to my best friend
riff 1        A     F#m              E       E7 E
I'll write a letter to a hip Toronto magazine
E        C#m        A            E          A
If you're so sophisticated with your sexuality
A           E              A               E
What about me?  What about me?  What about me?


[Chorus]
Bm/F#                   A                  E
I've got my sleek red canoe on top of the cab
Bm/F#                        A       E
Gonna take it down after the Sault,  when the sun's comin' up
E                  B          riff 2
There's nothing I like that's better than that
E                  B          riff 2
There's nothing I like that's better than that
