Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

* x4

I have to drive

I have my reasons, dear

It’s cold outside

I hate the seasons here

I suffer mornings most of all

 I feel so powerless and small

 By ten o’clock I’m back in bed

 Fighting the jury in my head

You learn to drive

It’s only natural, dear

You drive all night

We haven’t slept in years

We suffer mornings most of all

We saw you lying in the road

 We tried to dig a decent grave

 But it’s still no way to behave

It is a delicate position

 Spin the bottle

 Pick the victim

 Catch a tiger

 Switch directions

 If he hollers

 Break his ankles

 To protect him

 We’ll have to drive

 They’re getting closer

 Just get inside

 It’s almost over

We will save your brothers

We will save your cousins

We will drive them far away

 From streets and lights

From all signs of bad mankind

x2

We suffer mornings most of all

 Wake up all bleary eyed and sore

 Forgetting everything we saw

(I’ll meet you in an hour

 at the car)

D* = I usually play a D for the first half of these measures and a Dmaj7 for the second

which makes a nice transition to the A (and sounds closer to what Amanda does on the piano).
