[Bm] In the backseat of my heart
My love tells me [Em] I'm a mess
[D] I [F#m] couldn't get the car [G] to start
[Em] I
[D] left [F#m] my keys somewhere [G] in the mess
[Em]
[D] It comes and goes, in [G] plateaus
One month later I'm a [D] fucking pro
My parents would be proud
[Em] Or fall [D] asleep on the floor
Forget [Em] what happened in the morning
There [D] are notes in your handwriting
But you [Em] can't make it out
[G] We are not [D] a proud race
[A] It's not [E] a race [F#] at all
We're [E] just trying
I'm [Dm] only trying [A] to get home
Drunk drivers, drunk [G] drivers
This is [D] not a good thing
[A] I don't mean to [F#] rationalise
[E] Or try and explain [D] it away
It's not [A] okay
Drunk drivers, drunk [D] drivers
It's [F#m] too late to [Em] articulate it
[D] That [F#m] empty feeling
[Em]
[D] You share [F#m] the same fate as [Em] the people you hate
[G] You [D] built [F#m] yourself up against [Em] others' feelings
And it left you feeling [D] empty
As a car coasting [Em] downhill
I have become such a negative [D] person
It was all just a net
It was all so [Em] easily stripped away
But if [D] we learn how to live like this
Maybe [Em] we can learn how to start again
Like [D] a child who's never done wrong
Who [Em] hasn't taken that first step
[G] We are [A] not [D] a proud race
[A] It's not a race [F#] at all
We're [E] just trying
[D] I'm only trying [A] to get home
Drunk drivers, drunk [G] drivers
Put it out [D] of your mind
[A] And perish [F#m] the thought
There's [Em] no comfort in [D]
responsibility
[A] Drunk drivers, drunk drivers
[G] It doesn't [D] have to be like [A] this
It doesn't [Em] have to be like [G] this
It doesn't [D] have to be like this
[A] Kill the whales, [E] kill the whales
[G] It doesn't [D] have to be like [A] this
It doesn't [Em] have to be like [G] this
It doesn't [D] have to be like this
Kill [A] the whales, kill [E] the [G] whales
Use that voice
[D] in your head, [F#m] giving you shit again, but you know [Em] he loves you, [Dm]
[A]
[G] please [D] listen to him, [F#m] it's
not too late, turn off [Em] the engine, get out of [Dm] the car and start [A] to walk.
