E                  A            E
The first time that I lived in a car

E                     A                 B
I bought it for thirty dollars it was a little Ford Escort

E              A                  E
I slept in the parking lot of the park

      B                     A          B                A
and I tried not to drain my batteries, remember to pull out the key

B             A                   E
before I fell asleep with the radio on

E                   A            E
The worst part about living in a car

E            A              B
is how hot it gets when the sun comes up

       E                  A             E
and you can't stretch your legs out very far

       B              A    B               A  
I would wake up every day, with my knees in pain

B               A                     E
turn the key and hope the thing would start

       A            B       E
Then my friend moved in with me

        A     E* B
we were happy as sardines

A         B        E
he had a job as a playground supervisor

A                     B      E
but he only worked an hour a day

A            A            E
I'd drop him off then I'd kill some time shoplifting at the mall

A        B               E
we both had our ways of bringing home the pay

   B                 A  
but winter was on the way

    B                       A
and we were too big for our tiny little tank

      B                A
so we found a place to live

  E                   A              B              A              E
we signed a lease and joined the army of the walking dead that pay rent

   E              A            E
The next time that I lived in a car

E           A         B
I bought it from a cemetery

  E              A         E
it used to carry coffins right up to their graves

B          A            B              A
it became a home to me, sleeping on the near west streets

   B                   A               E
and I could stretch my legs out all the way

E       A         E
It was cold it was cold

E               A       B
but I loved it when it snow-o-o-ed

           E             A         E
because the snow covered up all the windows

   B           A                 B           A        
and no one would know, that that wagon was my home

       B         A            E
I could sleep in peace with the ghosts

E  A        E
I traded it in

E               A     B
so that I could get a van

A                 B           E
because if you're gonna play in a punk rock band

   A                  B             E
then someone's always gotta buy the van

A              B              E                                  A     B
it was fine by me because it seemed like compared to living in a car a van

             E
was gonna be a mansion

       B              A
And that van became my home

     B                A
for about two years or so

       B                  A
I lived happy I lived rent free

           E                       A               B       
the day that I give up I know where I'll end up that van is in front of my

A                E 
house waiting for me
