Lyrics

IN THE DRIVERS SEAT

F C G Am
When you threw the keys down, I was not lookin'
F C G
I only saw the anger in your eyes
F C G Am
Your actions cut deeper, far further than words do
F C G Fmaj 7th
The greatest gift you gave me was not sayin' goodbye

F C G Am
I was cleaning out yer drawer and I found your good luck locket
F C G G7th
Guess you really didn't need it when you went away that day
F C G Am
So long September, hello my freedom
F C G F C
The greatest gift you gave me was movin' on that day

CHORUS 1
F C G Am
Roll down the windows, turn up the heat
F C G G7th
I ain't ridin' shotgun, now I'm in the drivers' seat
F C G Am
I'm heading out the be the man I used to be
F C G Fmaj7th / Fmaj 7th
Free again, I'm in the drivers seat

We had so many setbacks, some good times I won't lie
A perfect fit to some misfit, I never asked you why
The signs were there, didn't care, didn't even try
I lift you up, you slap me down, alone's all good, goodbye


CHORUS 2 (stay on F)

SOLO
F G Am F C G F F C G Am F C G Fmaj 7th / Fmaj 7th


I saw you at the station just by chance the other day
We made small talk, we laughed a bit, could'nt wait to get away
Facts are figured out, can't regret what I can't say
For half as much, I'm twice the man, far better off that way

CHORUS 3
F C G Am
Roll down the windows, turn up the heat
F C G G7th
I ain't ridin' shotgun, now I'm in the drivers' seat
F C G Am
I'm heading out the be the man I used to be
F C G Fmaj7th
Free again, I'm in the drivers seat
F C G F C.........
Free again I'm in the drivers seat
