Transcription by Phil Gardner

Intro: C-Em-Bb-F-C-Em-Bb (x2)

C    Em   Bb       F       C         Em   Bb
Everybody wants to want it, and everybody tries,
C          Em      Bb        F      C           Em        Bb
But take a look at all their riches, my pile is twice the size,
  F           C      Bb     F              C
So forget the little people waiting in the wings, 'cause now is everything.

F           C            Eb      Bb                 F
The only survivor is the driver, look out, look out now,
               C                 Eb        Bb                 F
The passenger's dead they can't revive her, look out, look out now,
         C                    Ab                      Bb            F
You gotta stop pretending that you know better, 'cause I know what I need,
            C               Eb          Bb  C  Eb
I warned you once that I'm unsafe at any speed.

C         Em    Bb     F       C       Em        Bb
And once upon a time I wondered how to leave the ground,
C             Em    Bb      F         C         Em    Bb
I learned you never make it anywhere if you pussyfoot around,
         F            C    Bb             F            C
You gotta spit out the sour grapes, you're dying on the vine and running out of time.

F           C            Eb      Bb                 F
The only survivor is the driver, look out, look out now,
               C                 Eb        Bb                 F
The passenger's dead they can't revive her, look out, look out now,
         C                    Ab                      Bb            F
You gotta stop pretending that you know better, 'cause I know what I need,
            C               Eb          Bb  C  Eb
I warned you once that I'm unsafe at any speed.

Guitar Solo: C-Em-Bb-F-C-Em-Bb (x2)

Bb              F Bb                  F          C
I could give it up and try to play it down for a while,
Bb                 F                   Eb
I'd rather live it up, I'm warning you now, I'm cruising out of town.

F           C            Eb      Bb                  F
The only survivor is the driver, look out, look out now,
               C                 Eb        Bb                  F
The passenger's dead they can't revive her, look out, look out now,
         C                    Ab                      Bb            F
You gotta stop pretending that you know better, 'cause I know what I need,
            C               Eb          Bb  C    Eb          Bb  C  Eb  C
I warned you once that I'm unsafe at any speed, unsafe at any speed.
