Verse 1:
D      Dmaj7           Em
In the back-seat of my heart
D   Dmaj7              Em    G
My love tells me I'm a mess
D         Dmaj7           Em
I couldn't get the car to start
D        Dmaj7                  Em    G
I left my keys somewhere in the mess


D            Dmaj7    Em                               G
It comes and goes in plateaus, one month later I'm a xxxxing pro
D                   Dmaj7    Em
My parents would be proud
G       D              Dmaj7              Em
Or fall asleep on the floor, forget what happened in the morning
G         D                Dmaj7                Em
There are notes in your handwriting, but you can't make it out

Chorus:
G5           D5
We are not a proud race
A5                 Gb5
It's not a race at all
           E5
We're just trying
         D5            A5
I'm only trying to get home
A5
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers
G5            D5
This is not a good thing
  A5                Gb5
I don't mean to rationalise
   E5                 D5
Or try and explain it away
          A5
It's not okay
A5
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers

Verse 2:
D       Dmaj7           Emadd9
Its too late to articulate it
   D        Dmaj7   Emadd9   G
That empty feeling
    D            Dmaj7        Emadd9
We share the same fate as the people you hate
D              Dmaj7                   Emadd9
You built yourself up against others feelings
                 G        D
Then it left you feeling empty
     Dmaj7              Emadd9
As a car coasting down hill
                      G
I have become such a negative person
D                  Dmaj7
It was all just an act
               Emadd9               G
It was all so easily stripped away
D                               Dmaj7
But if we learn how to live like this
             Emadd9                    G
Maybe we can learn how to start again
       D                        Dmaj7
Like a child who has never done wrong
           Emadd9
Who hasn't taken that first step

Chorus:
G5           D5
We are not a proud race
A5                 Gb5
It's not a race at all
           E5
We're just trying
         D5            A5
I'm only trying to get home
A5
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers
G5             D5
Put it out of your mind
A5              Gb5
And perish the thought
           E5             D5
There's no comfort in responsibility
A5
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers

G5                D5
Is that voice in your head
   A5             Gb5
Giving you xxxx again?
                 E5
But you know he loves you
                D5                A5
and he doesn't mean to cause you pain
G5              D5
Please listen to him
A5             Gb5
It's not too late
              E5
Turn off the engine
               D5                   A5
Get out of the car and start to walk
A5
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers, drunk drivers, drunk drivers
