D 

          D           G 
I've been driving all night 
        D             G  
Bathing in florescent light 
     D             G       Am 
Of a western Tennessee gas station 
       D               G 
With a pack of two-way action 
       D            G 
I'm subsisting on a fraction 
      D            G       Am 
And I close my eyes and pretend 
       C G 
I'm on vacation 
                     D    
But the light bleeds through 
             A 
And it's all green-blue 

There goes my imagination 


D,G (3x) 


   D                    G 
My return fills me with dread 
        D                    G 
Will my house plants be all dead 
     D             G    Am 
My significant be with another 
       D           G 
I say OK where was I 
      D               G 
But I can't repress a sigh 
      D            G 
And I think I'm gonna 
       Am                      C      G 
Yeah I think I'm gonna call my mother 
                D    
Let the subject wander 
             A 
To issues of blonde hair 

Or something or other 


D,G (2x)
D 

           C 
Like a bad haircut 
                   D   
Or a glass of cold water 
            C  
Some of the things 
                        D  
You wouldn't ordinarily thought a 
            C                  D 
Will all be lost if you let it in 
           C                  D 
Maybe I'll never ever feel it again

          D           G 
I've been driving all night 
        D             G  
Bathing in florescent light 
     D             G       Am 
Of a western Tennessee gas station 
       D               G 
With a pack of two-way action 
       D            G 
I'm subsisting on a fraction 
        D            G  
Of what used to be a sugar-free 
Am                    C     G 
Half-melted bag of Tastations 
                D 
That hard candy sensation 
                  A 
It's sweeping the nation 
       D              G   
And it puts my mind in traction 
       D           G 
I'm subsisting on a fraction 
      D            G       Am 
And I close my eyes and pretend 
       C    G 
I'm on vacation 
                         D   
But while it melts in my mouth 
                  A   
I'm still driving south 

In a TV Nation 


D,G(x2) 
D 


           C 
Like a bad haircut 
                   D 
Or a glass of cold water 
            C                          D 
Shouldn't I say what I really shouldn't oughta 
                 C  
You spend half a day in 
              D 
Some of these places 
                      C 
Like a flash of white light 
                       D 
That's in front of our faces 
               C                      D 
A state of peristalsis or a parastatic stasis 
                     C 
And we're off to the races 
   D                        C            
Oh yeah and we're off to the races 
   D                        C 
Oh yeah and we're off to the races 
D                     C  
Yeah and we're off to the races
