[Verse 1]
D
Scared of everything
 
Everything's on blast
Bm
Never travel light
 
I carry the past
Em7
In an armored car
 
That's my skeleton
G
Worship one idea
 
Like a superfan
D
In a gallery
 
With a slanted view
Bm
There's a book signing
 
Dystopian haikus
Em7
As they're read out loud
 
Under Edison lights
G
Makes me scratch my head
                          D D Em G
And think of simpler times
 
[Chorus 1]
G              A          F#m
Borrowed a car for the day
G           A       Bm     A    G
We drove it out to The Rockaways
Em7
And you went swimming
 
I watched you swimming
                  D

[Verse 2]
D
I'm made of money now
 
There's nothing I want
Bm
Except expensive wine
 
To watch the rocket launch
Em7
We'll climb up on the roof
 
And sit in plastic chairs
G
Watch it accelerate
 
Until it disappears
D
Just like your goodbye voice
 
Trailing off down the hall
Bm
I love you, baby
 
I'll be back in one hour
Em7
You'll try and smile then
 
Sometimes it doesn't stick
G
I'll help you tune it out
                       D D Em G
I'll help you reminisce
 
 
[Chorus 2]
G             A          F#m
Borrowed a car for the day
G           A          Bm      A       G
Filled it up with some friends I'd made
Em7
And they went dancing
 
I watched them dancing
                  D

[Bridge]
D
F#m
Don't feel badly
G
I'm barely angry
A                   Bm      Bm A F#m
It's not too much to contain
F#m              G
Always knew that
G                    A
It'd probably happen
A                              Em7
We'd put these memories to shame
 
 
[Chorus 3]
Em F#m G
G               A         F#m
Borrowed a car for the day
G          A            Bm A G
Gassed it up for our getaway
      Em7
Said you'd be waiting
 
I left you waiting
                  D
