In A Way
View chords used in this chart
C Cadd2
The driver controls the radio
Am G F G
While the passenger sleeps against the window
C Cadd2
And the policeman with the thinning hair
Am G F G
Watches people running red lights, but he doesn’t care
C Cadd2
Because he’s in a way as the hours pass
Am G F G
Drawing shapes in the steam on the cold cold glass of his windshield
Am C
All I know
G F
Strangled by the radio
Am C G F G
All I know
Am C
All I know
G F
Strangled by the radio
Am C G F G
All I know
C Cadd2
And do you feel the world gloss over you?
Am G F G
Like the way you treat the magazines in the waiting rooms
C Cadd2
Cause it’s a brute sport that we’re playing
Am G F G
“Everybody wins” is just a saying to keep the losers feeling lucky
C Cadd2
In fact, I feel defeated
Am G F G
Like everything I’ve done is meaningless
Am C
All I know
G F
Strangled by the radio
Am C G F G
All I know
Am C
All I know
G F
Strangled by the radio
Am C G F C
All I know
