G          Em C
Exit on a whim
G              Em       D  
Hopefully, we find it again
G                    Em  C
I'm tired of turning back
G                     Em       D  
Let's keep on moving down the track
            G          Em
And if the horse lies down
G                     Em
There's a push just a mile uptown
        G          Em
If the horse lies down

Chorus:
C                    Em
Wake me up to drive, wake me up to drive
G                          Em
Even if I'm tired, I don't wanna miss the ride
C                    Em
Wake me up to drive, wake me up to drive
G                          Em
Even if I'm tired, I don't wanna miss the ride

Hand upon my skin
Warm me up and calm me down
I like to watch your chin
Tracing the familiar sound
Of a famous song
Put one on, let's sing along
To the famous song

Chorus:
Wake me up to drive, wake me up to drive
Even if I'm tired, I don't wanna miss the ride
Wake me up to drive, wake me up to drive
Even if I'm tired, I don't wanna miss the ride

Vacancies, none
The same ideas from everyone
We never plan ahead
We take the gamble on instead
And if they turn us down
Find a warm bed in the next town
If they turn us down

Chorus:
Wake me up to drive, wake me up to drive
Even if I'm tired, I don't wanna miss the ride
Wake me up to drive, wake me up to drive
Even if I'm tired, I don't wanna miss the ride
Wake me up to drive, wake me up to drive
Even if I'm tired, I don't wanna miss the ride
Wake me up to drive, wake me up to drive
Even if I'm tired, I don't wanna miss the ride
