In the Car Barenaked Ladies
These chords are the basic skeleton of the song.
The actual song is a little fancier. Listen if you care to figure it out.
[Am]She fed me strawberri[G]es and freezer-burned ice cr[Am]eam
I said "Goodbye, I g[E]uess" She lifted up her d[F]ress
and so I must con[D]fess, we made out one more
[A]time bef[D]ore I le[A]ft for g[D]ood
She thou[A]ght I'd [D]come back [A]but I
Bflat F E
wouldn't want to seem like other guys
(Same pattern as above until Am)
A book-and-record love, we sat and read our books,
between those longing looks, compounded by our fear,
My tongue inside her ear, my tongue inside her
in the basement of her mother's house where she once taped the
first three sides of Sandanista for my c[Am]ar.
We were l[D]ooking for ours[G]elves and f[D/F#]ound each [Em]other. In the [Am]Car
it was ra[D]re to do much m[G]ore than si[D/F#]mply mess [Em]around. In the[Am] Car
It was mo[D]stly mutual [G]mastu[D/F#]rbati[Em]on And though we [Am]spoke of penetration
I'd have to [C]wait for someone else to try it ou[G]t
Once I had this dream
where I slept with her mom
Unless I've got this wrong, a secret all along
Unless she hears this song
unless she hears it
on a tape inside her car
with her new husband and she
turns to him and says "I think that's me"
In the Car
We were looking for ourselves
but found each other
In the Car
We groped for excuses
not to be alone anymore
In the Car
We were waiting for our lives
to start their endings
In the Car
We were never making love
We were never making love
