Verse 1

D

Tell me do you think it’d be all right

G

If I could just crash here tonight

D

You can see I’m in no shape for driving

A G

And anyway I’ve got no place to go

D G

And you know it might not be that bad

D

You were the best I’d ever had

A G

If I hadn’t blown the whole thing years ago

A

I might not be alone

Chorus

And let the cops chase us around
