[Verse 1]
C5
Look away while you still can
C5                     Bb6
Close your eyes, say goodbye to this strange land
C5
You never thought you had it good
C5                                          Bb6        C5  C5
And high school was just football games and processed food


[Verse 2]
C5
You've been picking through the weeds too long
C5                             Bb6
Surrounded by the echoes of a dream gone wrong
C5
And running through the fields that led
C5                           Bb6
To nothing but a song you're singing in your head


[Chorus]
AmMaj7 Bm(6)     C5          F     C5    F
Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape
F               AmMaj7 Bm(6)     C5      F  C5  C5
Hopefully this car will live up to its name


[Verse 3]
C5
You got ninety miles out of town
C5                            Bb6
When you started thinking you should turn the car around
C5
Go back home to your reckless dad
C5                            Bb6
Maybe this time he'll convince you that it's not so bad


[Verse 4]
C5
But then you snapped back down from outer space
C5                            Bb6
Stared into the rear view mirror at your face
C5
Swollen eyes, beaded sweats
C5                            Bb6
Tattoos on your forehead and around your neck


[Chorus]
AmMaj7 Bm(6)     C5          F     C5    F
Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape
F               AmMaj7 Bm(6)     C5      F  Fmaj7 F Fmaj7
Hopefully this car will live up to its name


[Solo]
C5 x8


[Chorus]
AmMaj7 Bm(6)     C5          F     C5    F
Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape
F               AmMaj7 Bm(6)     C5      F  C5  C5
Hopefully this car will live up to its name


[Outro]
AmMaj7 Bm(6)     C5              F     C5    F
Maggie are you listening in your blue Ford Escape
F               AmMaj7 Bm(6) C5  F  C5  C5  Csus2 C5 Csus2
Hopefully your car will live up to its name
