[Intro 1]
[F][F][Dm][Dm]
[G][G][F]

[Verse 1]
[F]Brucie dreams life's a highway
[Dm]Too many roads bypass my way
[Em]Or they never begin[Dm]
[F]Innocence coming to grief
[Dm]At the hands of life stinkin' car thief
[Em]That's my concept of sin[Dm]

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Am]Does heaven wait all heavenly
[G]Over the next horizon? Oh

[Chorus 1]
[Dm]But look at us now (quit driving)
[G]Some things hurt mor[Am]e, much more
than cars and [Dm]girls
Just look at us now (start counting)
[G]What adds up the way[Am] it did
when we were [Dm]young?
Just look at us now (quit driving)
[G]Some things hurt mor[Am]e, much more
than cars and [Dm]girls[G]

[Verse 2]
[F]Life's a drive through a dust bowl
[Dm]What's it do, do to a young soul
[Em]We are deeply concerne[Dm]d
[F]Someone stops for directions,
[Dm]Something responds, deep in our engines
[Em]We have all been burne[Dm]d

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Am]Will heaven wait all heavenly
[G]Over the next horizon? Oh

[Chorus 2]
[Dm]Look at us now (quit driving)
[G]Some things hurt mor[Am]e, much more
than cars and [Dm]girls
Just look at us now (start counting)
[G]What adds up the way[Am] it did
when we were [Dm]young?
Look at us now (quit driving)
[G]Some things hurt mor[Am]e, much more
than cars and [Dm]girls[G]

[Interlude 1]
[F][F][Dm][Dm]
[G][G][F]

[Verse 3]
[F]Little boy got a hot rod
[Dm]Thinks it makes him
some kind of new god
[Em]Well, this is one race he won't win[Dm]
[F]'Cause life's no cruise with a cool chick
[Dm]Too many folks feelin' car sick
[Em]But it never pulls in[Dm]
[F]Brucie's thoughts, pretty streamers
[Dm]Guess this world needs its dreamers,
[G]May they never wake up, alright

[Chorus 3]
[Dm]But look at us now (quit driving)
[G]Some things hurt mor[Am]e, much more
than cars and [Dm]girls
Just look at us now (start counting)
[G]What adds up the way[Am] it did
when we were [Dm]young?
Just look at us now (quit driving)
[G]Some things hurt mor[Am]e, much more
than cars and

[Chorus 4]
[Dm](girls) Just look at us now (quit driving)
[G]Some things hurt mor[Am]e, much more
than cars and [Dm]girls
Look at us now (start counting)
[G]What adds up the way[Am] it did
when we were [Dm]young?
Look at us now (quit driving)
[G]Some things hurt mor[Am]e, much more
than cars and [Dm]girls[G]

[Outro 1]
