Fmaj7                             Dm7
  Brucie dreams life's a highway,     too many roads bypass my way
Em7               Dm7
  Or they never begin.

Fmaj7                       Dm7
  Innocence coming to grief    at the hands of life's stinkin' car thief, 
Em7                    Dm7
  That's my concept of sin

Am9                             Gsus4                  G
  Does heaven wait all heavenly       over the next horizon ?


CHORUS:
Chords:
Dm9  100210    Am   577555
G    355433    Dm7  xx7565

Dm9
  But look at us now, (quit driving),
G                  Am                           Dm7
  Some things hurt more much more than cars and girls

Dm9
  Just look at us now, (start counting),
G                  Am                      Dm7
  What adds up the way it did when we were young ?

Dm9
  Just look at us now, (quit driving), 
G                  Am                           Dm7
  Some things hurt more much more than cars and girls.

Dm7   xx0211    Dm9    100210
Em7   022030    Gsus4  320013

Fmaj7                                 Dm7
  Life's a drive through a dust bowl, what's it do, do to a young soul
Em7                Dm7
  We are deeply concerned

Fmaj7                           Dm7
  Someone stops for directions, something responds deep in our engines
Em7                Dm7
  We have all been burned

Am9                             Gsus4            G
  Will heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ?

Dm7   xx0211    Dm9    100210
Em7   022030    Gsus4  320013

Fmaj7                       Dm7
  Little boy got a hot-rod, thinks it makes him some kind of new God
Em7                               Dm7
  Well, this is one race he won't win

Fmaj7                                     Dm7
  'Cos life's no cruise with a cool chick - too many folks feelin' car sick, 
Em7                  Dm7
  But it never pulls in.

Fmaj7                                 Dm7
  Brucie's thoughts: pretty streamers - guess this world needs its dreamers! 
Gsus4               G
  May they never wake up.
