D,G(x3) D
          D           G
I've been driving all night

        D             G 
Bathing in florescent light

     D             G       Am
Of a western Tennessee gas station

       D               G
With a pack of two-way action

       D            G
I'm subsisting on a fraction

      D            G       Am
And I close my eyes and pretend

       C G
I'm on vacation

                     D   
But the light bleeds through

             A
And it's all green-blue
There goes my imagination D,G(x3)
   D                    G
My return fills me with dread

        D                    G
Will my house plants be all dead

     D             G    Am
My significant be with another

       D           G
I say OK where was I

      D               G
But I can't repress a sigh

      D            G
And I think I'm gonna

       Am                      C      G
Yeah I think I'm gonna call my mother

                D   
Let the subject wander

             A
To issues of blonde hair
Or something or other D,G(x2) D
           C
Like a bad haircut

                   D  
Or a glass of cold water

            C 
Some of the things

                        D 
You wouldn't ordinarily thought a

            C                  D
Will all be lost if you let it in

           C                  D
Maybe I'll never ever feel it again
D,G,D,G,D,D,Am (x2) D,A Instrumental (Guitar solo): Alternate between D and G.
          D           G
I've been driving all night

        D             G 
Bathing in florescent light

     D             G       Am
Of a western Tennessee gas station

       D               G
With a pack of two-way action

       D            G
I'm subsisting on a fraction

        D            G 
Of what used to be a sugar-free

Am                    C     G
Half-melted bag of Tastations

                D
That hard candy sensation

                  A
It's sweeping the nation

       D              G  
And it puts my mind in traction

       D           G
I'm subsisting on a fraction

      D            G       Am
And I close my eyes and pretend

       C    G
I'm on vacation

                         D  
But while it melts in my mouth

                  A  
I'm still driving south
In a TV Nation D,G(x2) D
           C
Like a bad haircut

                   D
Or a glass of cold water

            C                          D
Shouldn't I say what I really shouldn't oughta

                 C 
You spend half a day in

              D
Some of these places

                      C
Like a flash of white light

                       D
That's in front of our faces

               C                      D
A state of peristalsis or a parastatic stasis

                     C
And we're off to the races

   D                        C           
Oh yeah and we're off to the races

   D                        C
Oh yeah and we're off to the races

D                     C 
Yeah and we're off to the races
