              Intro - E   F#m   A   E 
 
E                          F#m 
Put your hands on the wheel 
        A          E    F#m   A 
Let the golden age begin 
E                  F#m 
Let the window down 
         A                 E   F#m   A 
Feel the moonlight on your skin 
E                  F#m 
Let the desert wind 
A                E   F#m   A   
Cool your aching head 
E                          F#m 
let the weight of the world 
A            E    F#m   A 
Drift away instead 
 
D   A   F#m        A            E   F#m 
Oh      These days I barely get by 
A            E   F#m   A 
I don't even try 
 
E                      F#m 
It's a treacherous road 
A                E   F#m   A 
With a desolated view 
E                     F#m  
There's distant lights 
A                        E   F#m   A 
But here they're far and few 
E                      F#m 
And the sun don't shine 
A              E   F#m   A 
Even when it's day 
E                        F#m 
You gotta drive all night 
A                        E   F#m   A 
Just to feel like you're OK 
 
D   A   F#m        A            E   F#m 
Oh      These days I barely get by 
A            E   F#m 
I don't even try 
A            E   F#m   A 
I don't even try 
 
E   F#m   A   E
