      | Dm       | Bb      | C          | G
In the  back of a  car on a  road in the dark,

      | Dm         | Bb      | C            | G
In the  stillicide,  silently  falling snow,

      | Dm           | Bb          | C       | G
I have  packed every - thing that I  own in a  bag,

       | Dm          | Bb        | C   | G
And I'm  driving, I'm  driving to  Ida - ho,



[play: 3/4| Dm | Bb | C | G |]  [x2]



 | Dm      | Bb        | C        | G
A  poem for  leaving, a  reason to  go,

      | Dm          | Bb        | C   | G
So I'm  driving, I'm  driving to  Ida - ho.

My  hands are on the  wheel  so  I'm  driving to  Ida-ho,



[play: 3/4| F | C | F | C |]

   | Dm           | Bb             | C        | G
And  oh, I've been  dumb, I've been  perfectly  beautiful,

| Dm        | Bb         | C          | G
  Lain on my  back buying  lovers with  stealth,

       | Dm         | Bb          | C         | G
But I'm  sick of you  all, and I'm  sick of o - pinions,

       | Dm          | Bb   | C          | G
And I'm  sick of this  war I  wage on my - self...

A  uni - verse  riddle that  only I know?

Tell me,  Phaedrus, what's  good, is it  Ida - ho?
