Driving My Life Away - Eddie Rabbitt
 
[Verse 1]
 
        E
        Well the midnight headlight blind you on a rainy night
                                                    A
        Steep grade up ahead slow me down making no time
                           E
        But I gotta keep a'rolling
 
        Those windshield wipers slapping out a tempo
                                                     A
        Keeping perfect rhythm with the song on the radio
                           E
        But I gotta keep a'rolling
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        E                  D                        A               E
        Ooh I'm driving my life away, looking for a better way, for me
        E                  D                        A          C#m   A   E7
        Ooh I'm driving my life away, looking for a sunny day
 
 
[Verse 2]
        E
        Well the truckstop cutie coming on to me
                                                        A
        Tried to talk me into a ride, said I wouldn't be sorry
                           E
        But she was just a baby
        E
        Hey waitress pour me another cup of coffee
                                                               A
        Pop it down, jack me up, shoot me out, flying down the highway
                       E
        Lookin for the morning
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        E                  D                        A               E
        Ooh I'm driving my life away, looking for a better way, for me
        E                  D                        A          C#m   A   E7
        Ooh I'm driving my life away, looking for a sunny day

                           E

good stuff but the chorus is E, D, A, E not A,D,E,A

Good chords: I have tweaked them a bit. Hope you like it. I like the 7th better. The rest follows....... Strum Pattern: D D DU DU E7 Well the midnight headlight find you on a rainy night A steep grade up ahead slow me down makin no time E gotta keep rollin E7 those windshield wipers slappin out a tempo A keepin perfect rhythm with the song on the radio E gotta keep rolling[Chorus] E D A E Ooh I'm driving my life away, looking for a better way, for me E D A C#m A E7 ooh I'm driving my life away, looking for a sunny day

Five Corrections on Lyrics (correct words in all caps below): 1: it's "BLIND you on a rainy night" (as noted by Electric G above) 2 & 3: it's "Pop IT down, jack me up, shoot me out, FLYING down the highway" 4 & 5: it's "BUT I gotta keep A'ROLLING"
