[F#] Hey there, I'm Andrew McMahon.
I'm going to do this one by request.
It's an old song from
the Something Corporate catalog.
It's a tune just about really the first band tour that
we went on as a band, traveling across the country.
It's called I Woke Up in a Car.
[C#] I
[F#] [D#m] [C#]
[F#] woke [C#] up in New York City from [F#] my sleep [D#m] behind the wheel.
[C#] [F#] Caught a [C#] train to Poughkeepsie and
time [F#] stood [D#] still.
[C#]
[F#] She wrote me a [C#] letter from San Diego [F#] to qualify [D#m] her [C#] love.
These [F#] flights
connect [C#] through Arizona, [F#] but I think [D#] I'll [C#] stay stuck.
City, here [F#] I am.
[C#]
City, here [F#] I am.
[C#] Whoa.
[F#] Well, I woke up in a [A#] car.
I [G#] traced away [C#] the fog so I could [F#] see [A#m] the Mississippi on her [G#] knees.
[C#] [F#] I've never been [A#m] so lost.
[G#] I've never [C#] felt so much at home.
[F#] Please write my [A#m] folks and throw away my
[G#] keys.
[C#] I woke up in a [F#] car.
[C#]
I woke up in a [F#] car.
[C#]
[F#] So I met a [C#] girl who kept tattoos [F#] for homes that [C#] she
had loved.
[F#] If I were [C#] her, I'd paint my body till all [F#] my [C#] skin was gone.
She [F#] wrote me a letter [C#] as we
passed through Rockford.
[F#] She said she [C#] won't forget.
[F#] Maybe [C#] I do.
Maybe I don't.
But I [F#] know [C#] I haven't yet.
City, here I [F#] am.

[G#] [A] And maybe [E] I could live [B] forever.

I am all [F#] alone.
[D#] [C#]
