xSTORNOWAY - FUEL UP
Having listened to the live version quite a few times now, I still cant discern
some of the chords, possibly due to a non-standard so these are simply
approximations. Please feel free to post an edited version if you cant stand any
minute inaccuracies!
Enjoy what is a very beautiful song.

[Verse]
E
Curled up in the back of the car,
E
9 years old you dont know where you are
A
And your head's on the window, your eyes are just closed,
A
Theres a voice in the front and a hush on the road,
E E6 E E6
You're a passenger but your mind is travelling on
E E6
Open your eyes and you're nine years older,
E E6
Hands on the wheel and you're racing on over
A A6
to lie with your first love, you cant wait to see her,
A A6
You borrowed the car and you think you're the driver,
B B6
But now you're the passenger to your own heart
B A
and it takes you travelling, travelling on,
E E6 E E6
E E6
When that moring broke and the sky fell down,
E E6
it went black as night, and the wind blew round,
A A6
And stole your directions, you lost your way home,
Amaj7 A6
and you felt like a passenger left by the road.
E E6
Well I'll tell you the reason you couldnt get home
E E6
'cos its nowhere you been, and it's nowhere you're going,
A A6
Home is only a feeling you get in your mind,
Amaj7 A6
From the people you love and you travel beside,
F#m
You may feel like a passenger, now you're the driver,
B
you've got to go travelling, travelling on.
F#m
If you break down,
B B7
Its a cold, hard shoulder
[Chorus]
E A
So fuel up your mind,
E A
And fire up your heart,
E F#m
And drive on,
A B
Drive on, drive on,
E A
And when your days are darker,
E A
Put your foot down harder,
F#m B
Drive on, drive on.
[Interlude]
E E6 E E6 A A6 A A6,
[Verse]
E E6
And it's nine more years you've been driving now,
E E6
but tonight you're stumbling through your own town
A A6
You met up with a school friend who's still just the same,
A A6
And you talked all the same shit you talked in those days,
E E6 E E6
and now you;re drunk and you're sad for the old times passing you by,
[Bridge]
C#m
Well theres no rewind so you might as well play,
E
While your time is rolling away.
F#m
Get back on the road,
Its a beautiful day,
A A6
Pick up all the friends you can find on the way
F#m C#m
And if you lose direction they'll be there biding you on,
B
binding you, biding you on,
A
Cos' we're all going the same way
B
Down this long road,
A
Yes were all bound the same way,
B
Down this long, long road,
[Chorus]
E A
So fuel up your mind,
E A
And fire up your heart,
E
And drive on,
A B
Drive on, drive on,
E A
And when your days are darker,
E A
Put your foot down harder,
F#m B7
Drive on, fuel up,
F#m B7
And drive on, fuel up,
F#m A E
And drive on, drive on.
