Introduction: F C G
F
Please take a long hard look
C G
Through your text book cause I'm history
F
When I strap my helmet on I'll be long gone
C G
Cause I've been dying to leave
F
Yeah, I'll ride the range
C G
And hide all my loose change in my bedroom
F
Cause riding a dirt bike down a turn pike
C G
Always takes its toll on me
F
I've had just about enough
Am
Of cloaked diamonds in the rough
G
Because my back-bone is paper thin
Dm
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
(I'll cave in, I'll cave in...)
Am G Dm
If the bombs go off the sun will still be shining
(The sun will still be shining)
F Am
Because I've heard it said that
G F
Every mushroom cloud has a silver lining
G
(Though I'm always under mining to deep to know)
F
Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
C G
Cause the road tastes like Wintergreen
F
The wind and rain smell of oil and octane
C G
Mixed with stale gasoline
F
I'll soak up the sound
Try to sleep on the wet ground
C G
I'll get ten minutes give or take
F
Cause I just don't foresee myself getting drowsy
C G
When cold integrity keeps me wide awake
C Am C G Em F)
(Awake, awake, awake, awake...)
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
C G
I'll keep my helmet on
Am F
Just in case my head caves in
(In case my head caves in)
C
Cause if my thoughts collapse
G
Or my brain work snaps
Am F
It'll make a mess like you wouldn't believe
C G
Tie my handle bars to the stars
Am F
So I stay on track (so I stay on track)
C G
And if my intentions trail I'll wrench them away
Am F
Then I'll take my leave and I won't even look back
C Dm F G)
I won't even look back
