 (start with B-E-B-E)

 B                     E  
   when you motor away beyond the once-red lips
 B                       E
   when you free yourself from the chance of a lifetime
 B                        E  
   you can be anyone they told you to
                         G#m
   you can belittle every little voice that told you so
                D#
   and then the time will come when you add up the numbers
 G#m                           D#
   and then the time will come when you motor away
 F#   F#/F               F#/E   F#
   oh why don't you just drive away
 B                     E
   when you motor away down the icy streets
 B                           E
   you can't lie to yourself that its the chance of a lifetime
 B                        E
   you can be anyone they told you to
                          G#m
   you can belittle every little voice that told you so
           D#
   and the time will come when you add up the numbers
 G#m                          D#
   and then the time will come when you motor away
 F#  F#/F               F#/E        
   oh why don't you just drive away

 (solo starts)

       B     E             B      E
   come on           speed on

 (finish with B-E-B-E-B)
