Verse
N.C.            E7       Riff #1 
Five gears in reverse 
E7                   G#7          Riff #2 
For girls looking at the big lift 
G#7                       E7          Riff #1 
Somebody send out for the night nurse 
E7                       G#7            Riff #2 
Please don't stick me on the late shift 
G#7                       A7 
If you don't know by now 
A7             E7 
Nobody’s gonna tell you 
E7                        A7 
If you don't know by now 
A7                          G#7 
The shock will probably k*ll you 
 
Chorus
G#7         A 
But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide 
A      E 
You're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide 
E       A 
And you have no motivation you can't even catch your breath 
A           G#              A 
All of this acceleration is driving you to 
G5 G#5 A5 C5 D5 D#5 E5 
death
