Gm
Car, car, car
Car, car, car

Gm
Let's get behind the wheel
We'll go driving
To the mountains
To the rooftops

We can take it nice and slow
I'll be driving
To the icebergs
To the edges

Chorus:
Gm/C             Gm/A#
Car, get in the car
Gm/D             Gm/C
Car, get in the car

Head in to the clouds
Past the buildings
By the harbour
Through the storm

Tear across the page
By the marker
Leave the light on
By the poolside

Chorus:
Car, get in the car
Car, get in the car

I can make an honest man of you
I can make you clean if you want me to
I can make you go very far

Chorus:
Just take the car
Get in the car
Car, get in the car

Take the car
Get in that car
Take the car
Get in that car
Take the car

Gotta feel to make it real
Anytime, anywhere
