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
