HAVE TO DRIVE - Amanda Palmer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: me
[Intro]
A E F#m D* x4
A E F#m D*
I have to drive
A E F#m D*
I have my reasons, dear
A E F#m D*
It’s cold outside
A E F#m D*
I hate the seasons here
A E F#m
I suffer mornings most of all
D* A
I feel so powerless and small
E F#m
By ten o’clock I’m back in bed
D* A E F#m D*
Fighting the jury in my head
A E F#m D*
You learn to drive
A E F#m D*
It’s only natural, dear
A E F#m D*
You drive all night
A E F#m D*
We haven’t slept in years
A E F#m
We suffer mornings most of all
D* A
We saw you lying in the road
E F#m
We tried to dig a decent grave
D*
But it’s still no way to behave
A E F#m
It is a delicate position
D
Spin the bottle
G
Pick the victim
C
Catch a tiger
F#m
Switch directions
G
If he hollers
A
Break his ankles
Bm
To protect him
D A
We’ll have to drive
Bm G
They’re getting closer
D A
Just get inside
Bm G
It’s almost over
D A Bm
We will save your brothers
G D A
We will save your cousins
Bm G D A
We will drive them far away
Bm G
From streets and lights
D A Bm G
From all signs of bad mankind
D A Bm G x2
D A Bm
We suffer mornings most of all
G D
Wake up all bleary eyed and sore
A Bm G
Forgetting everything we saw
(I’ll meet you in an hour
D
at the car)
D* = I usually play a D for the first half of these measures and a Dmaj7 for the second
which makes a nice transition to the A (and sounds closer to what Amanda does on the piano).
