Verse 1
D5 D5 
 
I,  I'm driving black on black
G5 G5 
 
Just got my license back
C5 C5 
 
I got this feeling in my veins
D5 D5 
 
This train is coming off the track
G5 G5 
 
I'll ask polite if the devil needs a ride
C5 C5 
 
Because the angel on my right,
D5 D5 
 
ain't hanging out with me tonight
I'm driving past your house
G5 G5 
 
While you were sneaking out
C5 C5 
 
I got the car door opened up,
D5 D5 
 
so you can jump in on the run
Your mom don't know that you were missing
G5 G5 
 
She'd be pissed if she could see,
C5 C5 
 
the parts of you that I've been kissing

Chorus 1

No, no  matter where we  go
Bb5 Bb5 
 
C5 C5 
 
D5 D5 
 
'Cause every  body  knows
F5 F5 
 
C5 C5 
 
G5 G5 
 
Bb5 Bb5 
 
C5 C5 
 
We're just a   couple animals

Check out the trouble we're in
F5 F5 
 
C5 C5 
 
G5 G5

Verse 2
D5 D5 
 
You're beside me on the seat
G5 G5 
 
Got your hand between my knees
C5 C5 
 
And you control how fast we go,
D5 D5 
 
by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It's hard to steer
G5 G5 
 
When you're breathing in my ear
C5 C5 
 
But I got both hands on the wheel,
D5 D5 
 
while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt,
G5 G5 
 
that we were heading south
C5 C5 
 
I guess nobody ever taught her,
D5 D5 
 
not to speak with a full mouth
'Cause this was it,
G5 G5 
 
like flicking on a switch
C5 C5 
 
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch

Chorus 2
D5 D5 
 
F5 F5 
 
C5 C5 
 
G5 G5

Verse 3
D5 D5 
 
We  were parked out by the tracks
G5 G5 
 
We're sitting in the back
C5 C5 
 
And we just started getting busy
D5 D5 
 
When she whispered "what was that"
The wind, I think 'cause no one else,
G5 G5 
 
knows where we are
C5 C5 
 
And that was when she started screamin'
D5 D5 
 
That's my dad outside the car
Oh please, the keys,
G5 G5 
 
they're not in the ignition
C5 C5 
 
Must have wound up on the floor
D5 D5 
 
While we were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
G5 G5 
 
As I tried to tell her dad,
C5 C5 
 
it was her mouth that I was kissing

Chorus 3
