                             HAVE TO DRIVE - Amanda Palmer

Tabbed by: me

Intro
A E F#m D* x4

A         E        F#m      D*
I have to drive
A         E        F#m      D*
I have my reasons, dear
A         E        F#m      D*
It’s cold outside
A          E       F#m      D*
I hate the seasons here

A        E                F#m
I suffer mornings most of all
          D*            A
I feel so powerless and small
         E                 F#m
By ten o’clock I’m back in bed
             D*         A     E   F#m D*
Fighting the jury in my head

A            E     F#m    D*
You learn to drive
A         E        F#m    D*
It’s only natural, dear
A             E    F#m    D*
You drive all night
A          E        F#m   D*
We haven’t slept in years

A         E                F#m
We suffer mornings most of all
D*                      A
We saw you lying in the road
            E            F#m
We tried to dig a decent grave
               D*
But it’s still no way to behave

A       E          F#m
It is a delicate position
         D
Spin the bottle
         G
Pick the victim
        C
Catch a tiger
         F#m
Switch directions
      G
If he hollers
          A
Break his ankles
      Bm
To protect him

              D       A
We’ll have to drive
                Bm      G
They’re getting closer
           D      A
Just get inside
            Bm      G
It’s almost over

D       A         Bm
We will save your brothers
G       D         A
We will save your cousins
Bm      G          D    A
We will drive them far away
     Bm          G
From streets and lights
D        A        Bm     G
From all signs of bad mankind

D A Bm G x2

D         A                Bm
We suffer mornings most of all
            G               D
Wake up all bleary eyed and sore
           A             Bm      G
Forgetting everything we saw

(I’ll meet you in an hour
                D
at the car)

D* = I usually play a D for the first half of these measures and a Dmaj7 for the second 
which makes a nice transition to the A (and sounds closer to what Amanda does on the piano).
