verse 1 

    C                     G 
I'm driving tonight all I see is your face 
Am                        F 
 wonder what you're doing now 
        C                         G 
With my foot to the floor in this go nowhere race 
    Am                        F 
I'd quit you but I don't know how 
    C                 G 
The devil behind me I feel his hot breath 
Am                       F 
 wonder why I don't give in 
 C                        G 
Another poor loser that's hell bent for death 
        F         G           Am 
Stayin' one mile ahead of the end 


verse 2 

     C                       G 
Just twisting and turning on these mountain roads 
     Am                    F 
Just racing,   chasing the wind 
    C                       G 
The devil, he's laughing, I don't wanna go 
        Am                  F 
I ain't ready to pay for my sins  
C                     G 
All I can hear is the motor's sweet whine 
        Am                      F 
And the rush of the cold autumn wind 
  C                     G 
Rememberin' back to the days you were mine 
    F        G           Am 
Can never go back there again 


verse 3 

    C                    G 
The devil he sits like a bird on my shoulder 
   Am                          F 
He laughs and he whispers your name 
   C                       G 
He says I bet you wish one time you could hold her 
  Am                        F 
Before you check out of the game 
   C                       G 
He screams in my ear, says kid let me steer 
       Am                       F 
You're driving just like an old woman 
    C                          G 
Man give it some gas or you'll get nowhere fast 
          F            G        Am 
Can't you see you're already forgotten 


verse 4 

    C                    G 
The oil is burning we're twistin' and turning 
    Am                      F 
The engine is smelling like brimstone 
  C                           G 
I hear the trees calling like tears their leaves falling 
  Am                        F 
I know that it's time to go home 
    C                     G 
I'm praying to Jesus, the devil, he's laughing 
   Am                F 
No witnesses to my demise 
      C                     G 
I let go of the wheel in my coffin of steel 
    F            G             Am 
And dream of the tears in your eyes 
      C                     G 
I let go of the wheel in my coffin of steel 
    F            G             Am 
And dream of the tears in your eyes 
 F            G             Am 
 dream of the tears in your eyes
