verse 1 

C 
Got up and packed in the evening 
          Em 
Shook the sleep from my eyes 
F                              C            G 
There’s always something about leaving this city at night 
C                                    Em 
Waiting around for a second then the second was gone 
F                      C                G 
I would say it’s about time I should be getting on 


Chorus 
Am                                 C 
And now I’m riding in the backseat of this old taxi, 
F                               C 
Heading through the tunnel down town 
Am                            C 
Thinking about how crazy this life has been lately 
    F                         C 
And no one’s gonna save me now 
        Am 
He said kid where you heading 
       C                         F                                 C 
I said that's a good question he laughed and said you’ll figure it out 
        Am                     C 
But I’m riding in the backseat in this old taxi 
F                               C 
Heading through the tunnel down town 



verse 2 
C                            Em 
At 17 I was ready to go on a gust of wind 
F                         C             G 
A lonely prisoner of my own soul and my innocence 
        C                                                    Em 
And the homecoming queens with the high school dreams of the early fall 
F                           C                   G 
Lived out their glorious scenes and died at the shopping mall 


Chorus 
Am                                 C 
And now I’m riding in the backseat of this old taxi, 
F                               C 
Heading through the tunnel down town 
Am                            C 
Thinking about how crazy this life has been lately 
    F                         C 
And no one’s gonna save me now 
        Am 
He said kid where you heading 
       C                         F                                 C 
I said that's a big question he laughed and said you’ll figure it out 
        Am                     C 
But I’m riding in the backseat in this old taxi 
F                               C 
Heading through the tunnel down town 


verse 3 
C 
Some people can just say what they want 
          Em 
They just know 
F                    C                   G 
Others fight to find out and can only say what they don’t 
C                                              Em 
Some people waste their days away waiting on a reason to live. 
F                   C                        G 
And some people get dressed and they go out looking for it 


FINAL 
Chorus 
Am                                 C 
And now I’m riding in the backseat of this old taxi, 
F                               C 
Heading through the tunnel down town 
Am                            C 
Thinking about how crazy this life has been lately 
    F                         C 
And no one’s gonna save me now 
        Am                        C 
He says Kid all I know is you can stay or go 
        F                    G 
But you better move fast now pal 
Am                          C 
So I’m riding the backseat of this old taxi 
F                               C 
Heading through the tunnel down town 
Am                            C 
Yeah I’m riding the backseat of this old taxi 
F                               G 
Heading through the tunnel down south
