[Intro]
E7
[Verse]
N.C. E7 Riff #1
Five gears in reverse
E7 G#7 Riff #2
For girls looking at the big lift
G#7 E7 Riff #1
Somebody send out for the night nurse
E7 G#7 Riff #2
Please don't stick me on the late shift
G#7 A7 If you don't know by now A7 E7 Nobody’s gonna tell you E7 A7 If you don't know by now A7 G#7 The shock will probably kill you
[Chorus]
G#7 A But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide A E You're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide E A And you have no motivation you can't even catch your breath A G# A All of this acceleration is driving you to G5 G#5 A5 C5 D5 D#5 E5 death
[Verse]
N.C. E7 Riff #1
Five gears in reverse
E7 G#7 Riff #2
You think I don't know what I’m doing
G#7 E7 Riff #1
Another fashionable first
E7 G#7 Riff #2
Like walking down the road to ruin
G#7 A7 But if you're safe and sound A7 E7 Don't let me interrupt you E7 A7 And if you're gagged and bound A7 G#7 Well how can I corrupt you?
[Chorus]
G#7 A But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide A E You're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide E A And you have no motivation you can't even catch your breath A G# A All of this acceleration is driving you to G5 G#5 A5 C5 D5 D#5 E5 death
