A Bm        D       E      A
I met this girl the other day
   Bm     D           E          A
Sitting alone on the Wednesday train
  Bm            D        E       A  Bm D E
I said what's wrong you look so sad
A    Bm         D        E      A
She said she's got something inside
      Bm        D       E     A
That she's not willing to confide
     Bm          D         E      A   Bm D E
So I said can I give some free advice

D
Don't worry about your
E
problems now baby cuz
      A
They just don't matter when
   F#m                D
it comes down to the fact
That everybody's got
E
problems now baby
     A
And life's too short to
F#m               D     E
keep them bottled up inside

Chorus:
        A   D E
Cuz I know
When life feels like
   A        D
a racecar speeding down
     E
It's one way street
          A D E
That I'll go   Anywhere
      A          D
that feels like heaven
          E
down this one way street
        D
Cuz I know that
      Dm
everything will be fine

I met this guy the other day
Sitting alone on the Sunday train
Dressed up with nowhere left to go
He said there's one thing that I've learned
Thru all these cigarettes I've burned
You've got to stop and look around

He said that hindsight's
clearer than a crystal ball
If he had the chance he would
stop and do it all over again
'Cuz when you're waiting for
the sound of the gavel
You don't want it to end with
a fistful of regrets inside

Chorus

Chorus:
'Cuz i know
When life feels like
a racecar speeding down
It's one way street
That I'll go
Anywhere that feels
like heaven down this one way street
'Cuz i know
When life feels like
a racecar speeding down
It's one way street
That I'll go
Anywhere that feels
like heaven down this one way street
Cuz i know everything will be fine
