You get the car, I'll get the night off
You'll get the chance to take the world apart and figure out how it works
Don't let me know what you find out
 
I need a car, you need a guide who needs a map
If I don't die or worse, I'm gonna need a nap
At best I'll be asleep when you get back

Love this tab, one comment though; the UG info says capo on 1st, the title in the body of the tab mentions no capo, then when it does it says "2". If you're playing all these parts together it will sound off unless you've already transposed. EDIT- Oh I see someone has edited it to be playable without a capo, I don't know if this made it better though...
