Eisenhower [E] is the father of the interstate [D] highway system and [C] my song is just a [E] way to
pay [F] a little tribute [D] to him.
I [C] wrote my love [E] and I wrote [F] from Ohio [D] to Pittsburgh and I sent [C] my cars.
Gave me [E] the time to [F] think of ways to [D] try to kiss him.
Our [C] separate hearts beat out [E] of time without [F]
someone to find [D] the rhythm.
[C] We'd fuck [E] up and [F]
simultaneously [G] quicken.
[C]
[G] [D]
[C]
I've got a thought [G] in my head.
[D]
Would it really [Am] be so bad [C]
if the tires [G] exploded [D] or if the car [Am] ran out of gas?
[C] Would it be so, [Em] so horrible if [F] we had to miss [Dm] a few shows?
The [C]
car broke down in [Em] the countryside and [F] we had to spend [D] the night there.
[Am] And would it be oh, [G] unbearable if [Dm] we misplaced all our clothes?
[Am]
Swam the river [G] and we had to hang out [Dm] in nothing [D] but our underwear.
[Am] And would it be [G] totally terrible if [Dm] we got a few hours off track?
[Am]
Fell asleep [G] in the grass and [D] the rest of where I once read.
[C]
Eisenhower is [E] the father [F] of the interstate [D] highway system.
[C] And so this song is just a [E] way to [F] say a [E] little thank [D] you to him.
[C] I wrote my true love [E] and I [F] wrote from New York to [D] Toronto.
[C]
Cars gave me the [E] time to [F] think of ways I'd [D] try and crawl him.
Our [C] separate hearts beat out of [E] time without [F]
someone to [D] bang the bongos on [C] the last one.
[E] Now you [F] know exactly how my song [D]
goes.
[C] Would you think [G] it was stupid of me to [Dm] suggest that we don't get any sleep?
[Am] Even though we're getting [G] up at 6am [Dm] to drive all the way to [C] Michigan.
I've got a song [G] in my head [D] that does it better than I [F] could.
Have [Am] it said we love just one, [G] I love just [C] one, I love just one.
I love just one, [C] I love just one, [G] see you in two.
pay [F] a little tribute [D] to him.
