E
I dreamed I drove a stolen car
E                            Emaj7
Through the field across the yard
A              C               E
Taking out the fences that I'd built between all my friends
 E                             Emaj7
Through the snow, we shagged again
A                     C
I said goodbye, waved them on their own
  E                         F#m7   E
I drove all night. I drove alone

[Verse 2]
E
Goodbye suburban mother bone
E                      Emaj7
For every kid in every home
 A                  C
Beauty becomes you, be who you are
    E
If I should rob a corner store
 E                           Emaj7
Or kill a cop who prayed for mercy
    A                         C
Forgive me, I don't know what made me this way
         E                       F#m7     E
But I'll be alright if you'll be okay

[Chorus 1]
 C#m                E           A
Cause sometime it's precious to go. (She'll tell you.)
 C#m          E                            A
No matter how smart you are, how could you know? (She'll tell you.)
 C#m             E                      A             F#m   E
It's harder than living, it's harder to drive away

[Verse 3]
E
I don't need anger to make me tough
E                  Emaj7
Acid scars or marijuana
   A              C
A dream, a kiss, one final wish
   E
A girl who's bent to pay my rent;
E                        Emaj7
All these things are disappearing
    A                  C
The world is swimming, the stars are bright
   E                           F#m    E
I wish I was alone with you tonight

[Chorus 2]
C#m               E                  A
It's lethal, it's painless, and it's slow. (She'll tell you.)
C#m            E                           A
No matter how smart you are, how could you know? (She'll tell you.)
C#m              E                     A           F#m   E
It's harder than living, it's harder to drive away
