[Verso 1]
 
      Em 
(And) I've been driving over potholes, I've been seeing 
D6                      Cmaj7 
double and I don't even drink 
Em 
Tire tread, slipping on the rubble, black marks always 
D6                   Cmaj7 
follow me down every street 
 


[Refrão]
 
    Em 
And life's just a one-way, be sure to stay in your lane 
D6 
    A wise man told me, that it's truth you should seek 
Cmaj7 
    But I'm still drifting, slowly drifting asleep 
Em                           D6 
    Death's got a hold of me,    and he's in the backseat

[Verso 2]
 
Em 
High beeams piercing through the rain, things never stay the 
D6                  Cmaj7 
same and I'm losing control 
Em 
Gas pedal pushed through the floorboard, sparks flying all 
D6                     Cmaj7 
over, and light up the road 
 


[Refrão]
 
      Em 
Can't tell what the signs say, as smoke fills up the space 
D6 
    A wise man told me, I'm saved only by faith 
Cmaj7 
    But I'm still drifting, slowly drifting asleep 
Em                           D6 
    Death's got a hold of me,    and he's in the backseat

                 Em    D6    Cmaj7 
He's in the back-seat 
 


[Ponte]
 
                      Em 
Been dodging potholes down the road, I'm speeding fast but this 
A7/E 
frame won't hold, between the cracks in the 
Cmaj7 
pavement, the buzzing on the radio, I need some 
A7/E 
hope 
 


[Verso 3]
 
                   Em 
(-cause) I'm still trapped in this car like a coffin, each turn I make's a 
D6                      Cmaj7 
dead end and I'm out of road 
Em 
Crashed myself into that old church, I'm driving my 
D6                      Cmaj7 
own hearse (to) bury my bones 
 


[Refrão]
 
    Em 
And Death forces me down six feet into the ground 
D6 
    A lifeless body, never to be-e found 
Cmaj7 
    Until a nail-scarred hand reached in and pulled me out 
Em                         D6 
    Death had a hold of me,    but I'm a free man now
