I Woke Up in a Car
Something Corporate
This is my first tab, but I'll try and make it as good as possible. A few notes before
begin. You will see that I have Eb5 for a chord, I believe it is an Eb chord but I'm
sure the exact progression so if you have any input on that let me know. Secondly,
is an Ab chord but that can also be played, during the verse, as Absus or Ab4, play
you feel sounds better. And the Db in parenthesis is in parenthesis because it's not
used as a full chord just as a passing tone between the other two. So play it
lightly and quickly.
Intro
Gb Eb5 Ab x2
Verse 1
Gb Eb5 Ab (Db)
I woke up in New York City
Gb Eb5 Ab (Db)
from my sleep behind the wheel
Gb Eb5 Ab (Db)
Caught a train to Poughkeepsie
Gb Eb5 Ab (Db)
and time stood still
Gb Eb5 Ab (Db)
She wrote me a letter from San Diego
Gb Eb5 Ab (Db)
To qualify her luck
Gb Eb5 Ab (Db)
These flights connect through arizona
Gb Eb5 Ab (Db)
but I think I'll stay stuck.
PreChorus
Gb Eb5 Ab (Db) x2
Gb Bbm
Well I woke up in a car
Ab Db Ab
I chased away the fog so i could
Gb Bbm

Ab Db Ab
on her knees

I've never been so lost
Ab Db Ab
I've never felt so much at home
Gb Bbm Ab

Db Ab
I woke up in a car
Gb Eb5 Ab
Gb Eb5 Ab
I woke up in a car
Verse 2 (same chord progression as first verse
I met a girl who kept tattoos for homes that she had loved
If I were her I'd paint my body til all my skin was gone
she wrote me a letter as we passed through Rockford
she said she wont forget
And maybe I do, maybe I don't,
but I know I haven't yet
so here i am, well here i am wooo
