[Intro 2]
| C | Am | Em | F |
| C | Am | Em | Dm |
[Verse 1]
C Am Em F
When things go south at the darkest hour in a grey-blue car at 90 miles
C Am Em Dm*
per hour. Don't worry, babe, this is not a retreat, it's an escape.
[Interlude]
| C | Am | Em | F |
| C | Am | Em | Dm |
[Verse 2]
C Am Em F
Push the window down, babe, let the world come in,
C Am Em Dm
bursting out your lungs. Chain-smoking Mary Longs.
C Am Em F
At 100 miles per hour you can't quit, no matter how hard you try.
C Am
No matter how good you've been, twelve angry men 've spoken their mind,
Em Dm (C)
the verdict's in, you can't catch up with the time.
[Interlude]
| C | Am | Em | F |
| C | Am | Em | Dm |
[Verse 3]
C Am Em F
From the backseat I see the world backwards,
C Am Em Dm
this temple of no doors, this Eden with no floor where guilt is on another level.
C Am Em F
The peepshow is free at 110 miles per hour,
C Am Em Dm
as streetlights flash like regrets from an ancient time.
[Bridge]
Am D/F# G G
From different lives, let's hide our love,
Am D/F# G G
somewhere it won't be tried.
[Verse 4]
C Am Em F
Don't panic, babe, it's just you and I,
C Am Em Dm
now close your eyes and drive.
[Interlude]
| C | C | C | C |
[Verse 1] (Reprise)
C Am Em F
When things go south at the darkest hour in a grey-blue car at 90 miles
C Am Em Dm
per hour. Don't worry, babe, this is not a retreat, it's an escape.
