intro
verse 1
C
Got up and packed in the evening
Em
Shook the sleep from my eyes
F C G
There’s always something about leaving this city at night
C Em
Waiting around for a second then the second was gone
F C G
I would say it’s about time I should be getting on
Chorus
Am C
And now I’m riding in the backseat of this old taxi,
F C
Heading through the tunnel down town
Am C
Thinking about how crazy this life has been lately
F C
And no one’s gonna save me now
Am
He said kid where you heading
C F C
I said that's a good question he laughed and said you’ll figure it out
Am C
But I’m riding in the backseat in this old taxi
F C
Heading through the tunnel down town
verse 2
C Em
At 17 I was ready to go on a gust of wind
F C G
A lonely prisoner of my own soul and my innocence
C Em
And the homecoming queens with the high school dreams of the early fall
F C G
Lived out their glorious scenes and died at the shopping mall
Chorus
Am C
And now I’m riding in the backseat of this old taxi,
F C
Heading through the tunnel down town
Am C
Thinking about how crazy this life has been lately
F C
And no one’s gonna save me now
Am
He said kid where you heading
C F C
I said that's a big question he laughed and said you’ll figure it out
Am C
But I’m riding in the backseat in this old taxi
F C
Heading through the tunnel down town
verse 3
C
Some people can just say what they want
Em
They just know
F C G
Others fight to find out and can only say what they don’t
C Em
Some people waste their days away waiting on a reason to live.
F C G
And some people get dressed and they go out looking for it
FINAL Chorus
Am C
And now I’m riding in the backseat of this old taxi,
F C
Heading through the tunnel down town
Am C
Thinking about how crazy this life has been lately
F C
And no one’s gonna save me now
Am C
He says Kid all I know is you can stay or go
F G
But you better move fast now pal
Am C
So I’m riding the backseat of this old taxi
F C
Heading through the tunnel down town
Am C
Yeah I’m riding the backseat of this old taxi
F G
Heading through the tunnel down south
