Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
x2
Verse 1
I woke up in New York City
from my sleep behind the wheel
Caught a train to Poughkeepsie
and time stood still
She wrote me a letter from San Diego
To qualify her luck
These flights connect through arizona
but I think I'll stay stuck.
Prechorus
x2
Well I woke up in a car
I chased away the fog so i could
see the mississippi
on her knees
I've never been so lost
I've never felt so much at home
please write my folks and throw away my keys
I woke up in a car
I woke up in a car
Verse 2
same chord progression as first verse
I met a girl who kept tattoos for homes that she had loved
If I were her I'd paint my body til all my skin was gone
she wrote me a letter as we passed through Rockford
she said she wont forget
And maybe I do, maybe I don't,
but I know I haven't yet
so here i am, well here i am wooo
Chorus
Well I woke up in a car
I chased away the fog so i could
see the mississippi
on her knees
I've never been so lost
I've never felt so much at home
please write my folks and throw away my keys
I woke up in a car
I woke up in a car
Bridge
And maybe I could live forever
If not ever I had known
That you'd be waiting there whenever
I am all alone
but here I am wooo
Chorus x2
Well I woke up in a car
I chased away the fog so i could
see the mississippi
on her knees
I've never been so lost
I've never felt so much at home
please write my folks and throw away my keys
