The Driver's Lament

Am C G Am
Everybody here is scary but me
Am C Dm Am
Look at how they drive; it's easy to see
Am Dm
It's bad when people notice you
Am G Am
I guess I better drive like I'm scary too.
Am C G Am
Several thousand pounds of iron and steel,
Am C Dm Am
Starting with a roar, cut short with a squeal.
Am Dm
Creeping up my tailpipe while it rains;
Am G E
Swerving in a blink across several--oh that's scary!
I only wish I dared to cover my eyes
I know that in the long run everyone dies
But really there's no hurry there
Easy on the moments that make me--oh that's scary
I left the windows down on an autumn day
And suddenly could hear what the drivers say
As we dodged a reckless truck
I heard another driver say mother--oh that's scary!
