Lyrics

Well, tell me: do you (D)think it’d be all (E)right if I could (F#m)just crash here to (E)night?

You can see I’m in no shape for (E)driv ing, and, an y way, I’ve (F#m)got no place to (E)go.

And, you know, it (D)might not be that (E)bad; you were the (F#m)best I’d ev er (E)had.

If I had n’t (D)blown the whole thing (E)years a go, I (F#m)might not be a (E)lone.

To mor row we can (A)drive a round this (D)town (Esus)and let the (A)cops chase us a (D)round.

The past is (Esus)gone, but (F#m)some thing might be (E)found to take its (D)place.

Hey, jeal (E)ous y.

Hey, jeal ous y.

Hey, jeal ous y.

Hey, jeal ous y.

And you can (D)trust me not to (E)think,

and not to sleep a (E)round.

And, if you (D)don’t ex pect too (E)much from me, you (F#m)might not be let (E)down.

’Cause all I real ly (D)want’s to be with (E)you,

feel ing (F#m)like I mat ter, (E)too.

If I had n’t Hey, jeal (E)ous y.

To mor row we can (A)drive a round this (D)town (Esus)and let the (A)cops chase us a (D)round.

The past is (Esus)gone, but (F#m)some thing might be (E)found to take its (D)place.

Hey, jeal (E)ous y.

Hey, jeal ous y.

Hey, jeal ous y.

Hey, jeal ous y.

Well, tell me: do you (D)think it’d be all (E)right if I could (F#m)just crash here to (E)night?

You can see I’m in no shape for (E)driv ing, and, an y way, I’ve (F#m)got no place to (E)go.
