F Am C Am F Am C Am
[Verse 1]
F Am
You just can't stand the way that I walked out from the wreckage,
F Am
Can't understand the way that I turned myself around.
F C
I tried to terminate this war,
With you.
G
But you won't let it go,
(slide down)
You keep coming back for more.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D
Freedom,
Em
I'm takin' it back.
F G
I'm outta here, no turnin' back,
D Em
In a baby blue Cadillac,
G
Just when I was stallin'.
I heard an angel callin'.
[Chorus 1](With Gusto)
N.C. F
This is your life,
Am
You can go anywhere.
F
You gotta grab the wheel and own it,
Am
And drive it like you stole it. Roll it!
F
This is your life.
Am
You can be anything,
F
You gotta learn to rock and roll it.
Am
You gotta put the pedal down,
F Am
And drive it like you stole it.
F Am
And drive it like you stole it.
[Verse 2]
F
We get stuck in the dirt,
Am
And we can't see where we're going.
F
We face all kinds of hurt,
Am
And the friction slows us down.
F C
But I won't be waiting here for the world to win me gold,
G
And I'll leave your dust behind me.
Stranded in the road.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D
Freedom,
Em
I'm takin' it back.
F G
Attitude, I'm givin' it back,
D Em
In a baby blue Cadillac,
G
Just when I was stallin'.
I heard an angel callin'.
[Chorus 2](With Gusto)
F
This is your life.
Am
You can go anywhere,
F
You gotta grab the wheel and own it.
Am
You gotta put the pedal down,
N.C. F Am
And drive it like you stole it.

And drive it like you stole it. (Hoo, hoo, hoo-ooh-ooh)
