Barenaked Ladies – In The Car (Guitar)

Am                   G
 She fed me strawberries

                        Am
 And freezer-burned ice cream

                    E
 I said "Goodbye, I guess"

                   F
 She lifted up her dress

                  D7
 And so I must confess

 Eb7    D      Eb7      D
 Time before I left for good

     Eb7         D
 She thought I'd come back

 Eb7   Bb               F               E
 But I wouldn't want to seem like other guys

Am                 G
 A book-and-record love

                     Am
 We sat and read our books

                       E
 Between those longing looks

                   F
 Compounded by our fear

                      D7
 My tongue inside her ear

 Eb7    D        Eb7    D
 In the basement of her mother's

 Eb7         D       Eb7
 House where we once taped the

 Bb                   F           E
 First three sides of Sandanista! for my car

C        D              G          G/F#       Em7
 We were looking for ourselves and found each other

 C/B    C           D               G         G/F#   Em7
 In the car, it was rare to do much more than simply mess around

C/B     C           D            G  G/F#  Em7
 In the car, it was mostly mutual   masturbation

     C/B       C            D                    Am
 And though we spoke of penetration, I'd have to wait

                            G
 For someone else to try it out

Am               G
 Once I had this dream

                        Am
 where I slept with her mom

                      E
 Unless I've got this wrong

              F
 A secret all along

                       D7
 Unless she hears this song

 Eb7  D      Eb7      D
 On a tape inside her car

      Eb7     D       Eb7
 With her new husband and she

 Bb               F                    E
 Turns to him and says "I think that's me"

        C            D              G          G/F#       Em7
 In the car, we were looking for ourselves but found each other

 C/B    C              D           G      G/F#  Em7
 In the car, we groped for excuses not to be   alone anymore

C/B     C            D               G        G/F#        Em7
 In the car, we were waiting for our lives to start their endings

 C/B    C            D            C
 In the car, we were never making love

         D            C
 We were never making love

         D            G  End riff
 We were never making love
