In the back-seat of my heart.

We're just trying

Verse:
D       Dmaj7           Em9
Its too late to articulate it
   D        Dmaj7   Em9    G
That empty feeling
    D            Dmaj7        Em9
We share the same fate as the people you hate
D              Dmaj7                   Em9
You built yourself up against others feelings
                 G        D  
Then it left you feeling empty

I have become such a negative person

It was all just an act
               Em9                  G
It was all so easily stripped away

But if we learn how to live like this
             Em9                       G
Maybe we can learn how to start again
       D                        Dmaj7
Like a child who has never done wrong
           Em9
Who hasn't taken that first step

Drunk drivers, drunk drivers.
G5             D5
Put it out of your mind
A5              F#5
And perish the thought
           E5             D5
There's no comfort in responsibility
A5
Drunk drivers, drunk drivers.
