Bbm
My life's a prison
Gets me down
Db
I've spent a lifetime in this sleepy old town
Ebm
I need a straightaway
Bbm
So I can get up some speed
Bbm
If dreams were money
I'd have it made
Db
Cause I've had a thousand dreams watch them all fade
Ebm
I need a straightaway
Bbm
So I can get up some speed
DbAb
I have the same old dream each and every night
EbmBbm
I'm on a jet black highway without a curve in sight
DbAb
Take that dream and hold on tight
Ebm
You know I gotta get away
GbBbmGbAb
I need a straightaway

I need a straightaway
BbmGbAb
I need a straightaway
Gb
I need a straightaway
Bbm
Yes I do
Bbm
I'm like a tiger
Pace my cage
Db
Working forty hour weeks for no wage
Ebm
I need a straightaway
Bbm
So I can get up some speed
My life's a prison
Gets me down
Db
I've spent a lifetime in this sleepy old town
Ebm
I need a straightaway
