Start Jamming...
In the backseat of my heart
My love tells me [Em] I'm a mess
[D] I [F#m] couldn't get the car [F#] to start
[Em]
[D] I left [F#m] my keys somewhere in [G] the [Em]
[D] mess
It comes and goes, in [Em] plateaus
One month later I'm a fucking [D] pro
My parents would be proud
[Em] Or [G] fall [D] asleep on the floor
Forget [Em] what happened in the morning
There [D] are notes in your handwriting
But you [Em] can't make it out
[G] We are not [D] a proud race
[A] It's not a race [F#] at all
We're [Em] just trying
I'm [D] only trying to [A] get home
Drunk drivers, drunk [Gm] drivers
This is not [D] a good thing
[A] I don't mean to [F#] rationalize
[E] Or try and explain [D] it away
It's not [A] okay
Drunk drivers, drunk [D] drivers
It's too late to [Em] articulate it
[D] An empty feeling
[Em]
[D] You share the same fate as [Em] the people you face
You [D] built yourself up against [Em] others' feelings
And it left you feeling [D] empty
As a car goes stinking [Em] downhill
I have become such a negative [D] person
It was all just an act
It was all [Em] so easily stripped away
But if [D] we learn how to live like this
Maybe [Em] we can learn how to start again
Like [D] a child who's never done wrong
Who [Em] hasn't taken that first step
[G] We are not [D] a proud race
[A] It's not a race [F#] at all
We're [E] just trying
I'm [D] only trying to [A] get home
Drunk drivers, drunk [G] drivers
Put it out [D] of your mind
[A] And perish [F#m] the thought
There's [Em] no comfort in [D]
responsibility
[A] Drunk drivers, drunk [G] drivers
It [D] doesn't have to be like [A] [Em]
[G] [D] this
[A] Kill the whale, [E] kill the whale
[G] It [D] doesn't have to be like [A] this
It doesn't [Em] have to be like [G] this
It doesn't [D] have to be like this
[A] Kill the whale, [Em] kill the [G] whale
Use that voice [D] in your head
[F#m] Giving you shit, but you know he [Em] [D]
[A]
[G] left
Please [D] listen to him
It's [F#m] not too late
Turn [Em] off the engine
Get out [D] of the car
And start [A] to walk
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers
[G] It doesn't [D] have to be like [A] [Em]

Kill [A] the whale, [Em] kill the whale
[G] It doesn't [D] have to be like [A] this
It [Em] doesn't have to be like [G] this
It doesn't have [D] to be like this
