[Verse]
E                          F#m
Put your hands on the wheel

        A          E    F#m   A
Let the golden age begin

E                  F#m
Let the window down

         A                 E   F#m   A
Feel the moonlight on your skin

E                  F#m
Let the desert wind

A                E   F#m   A
Cool your aching head

E                          F#m
let the weight of the world

A            E    F#m   A
Drift away instead
[Chorus]
D   A   F#m        A            E   F#m
Oh      These days I barely get by

A            E   F#m   A
I don't even try
[Verse]
E                      F#m
It's a treacherous road

A                E   F#m   A
With a desolated view

E                     F#m
There's distant lights

A                        E   F#m   A
But here they're far and few

E                      F#m
And the sun don't shine

A              E   F#m   A
Even when it's day

E                        F#m
You gotta drive all night

A                        E   F#m   A
Just to feel like you're OK
[Chorus]
D   A   F#m        A            E   F#m
Oh      These days I barely get by

A            E   F#m
I don't even try

A            E   F#m   A
I don't even try
E F#m A E
