Verse 1
[Em]Stuck to my seat
As I’m [Em]driving down the street and
Onto the [D]on ramp that’s leading to the [A]highway.
[Em]Pass through all the rows
With all the [Em]stops and all the goes
Like so [D]many, it’s how I begin [A]my day.
[Em]Finding my place
Just a[Em]nother endless face
[D]Behind my eyes are thoughts no one could [A]guess.
About the [Em]future and the past
Just how [Em]long will our world last
A [D]few more thousand years or maybe [A]less.
Chorus 1
And [Bm]what about the people then?
I [Bm]wonder how the days begin.
I [A]doubt those days will begin like mine.
[Bm]Will our race evolve
[Bm]Or will our race dissolve
Until a[A]nother race begins another [G]time [Em] [D] [A]
Verse 2
A [Em]blinker on my right
And I [Em]wave to say alright
As [D]I make some room to let him [A]merge.
I’m [Em]thankful for the sign
[Em]Because far too many times
They just [D]cut me off without so much as a [A]word.
I [Em]used to care about
All those [Em]other cars about
Me as I [D]traveled from home to work to [A]home.
Now [Em]I just give them room
Even [Em]those who drive like loons
And [D]pay too much attention to their [A]phones.
Chorus 2
[Bm]For those folks I’m pretty sure
Will [Bm]sometime soon have to endure
The [A]consequences of their inattention.
[Bm]I just hope I’m out of town
[Bm]When the reaper comes around
Col[A]lecting both the bad and well in[G]tentioned. [Em] [D] [A] [Asus4] [Asus2] [A]
