[Verse 1]
(palm muted)
 
C5
L.A. to Reno
G5
Checking out the scene-o
C5                F5
Feeling so mean-o
          C5                             G
Sometimes   I wish I could crash and burn
 
[Verse 2]
 
C5
Winding through the hot night
G5
  Without my headlights
C5              F5
20/20 hindsight
          C5               G5          C
Sometimes   I wish I could   crash and burn
 
[Chorus]
 
C         F
Crash and burn
                         C
And I never ever felt so lonely
C         F
Crash and burn
                Bb
Can't look them in the eye
G
Just want to drive and drive and drive
 
[Verse 3]
 
C5
 Going nowhere
G5
 And I don't care
C5                Bb5      F5
Can't wait 'til I get there
          C5               G5          C
Sometimes   I wish I could   crash and burn
 
[Chorus]
 
C         F
Crash and burn
                         C
And I never ever felt so lonely
C         F
Crash and burn
                Bb
Can't look them in the eye
G
Just want to drive and drive and drive

[Bridge]
(use standard chords; strum each chord only once)
 
F                                C
  Fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety
F                                   C
  Gotta be a place where they can't find me
Bb                                  G
  Watching all those bridges burn behind me
 
[Verse 4]
 
C5                 G5
And if I can't see   what's passing me
C5                     F5          C5
Nothing's can touch me   for I'll fly
               G          F
I wish I could  crash and burn
 
[Chorus]
 
                         C
And I never ever felt so lonely
C         F
Crash and burn
                Bb
Can't look them in the eye
G
Just want to drive and drive and drive.
 
[Verse 5]
 
C5
  On my Philco
G5
  I hear an echo
C5                       F5
  If there was a wreck-o yesterday
    C5
And by tomorrow
G5
They'll sweep the char-o
C5                  C5 Bb5 F/A   F5  C
And wash the tar and   trouble a-way
 
           G
  I wish I would
C          F
  I wish I would
C              G
I wish I could
