Bad Car Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
I know it's [G]a bad car,
I know it's a piece of junk
[C]I know the best tire on it, is [G]in the trunk
Just when you start to pass,
it always starts to shake
'Cause [C]over 55, it's a bitch
to drive on the in[G]terstate

[Verse 2]
Yeah, it's [Am]broke- down more than [G]it runs
But I'm [Am]broke- down
knowing that [G]it's done

[Verse 3]
It [C]witnessed all those tears
nobody [G]ever saw me cry
When I [C]broke the law through
Arkansas to tell [Bm]my dad goodbye
It [C]didn't get there pretty,
but it got [Bm]me there that day
So I'm a [Am]little sad to see it roll [D]away

[Verse 4]
I know [G]it's a bad car,
I know that the windshield's cracked
When [C]it isn't leaking oil, it's [G]leaking gas
It always needs a jump,
it always needs Freon
Yeah, there's [C]death and taxes,
and the check engine light [G]blinkin' on

[Verse 5]
But it [C]heard the first bad word that
my [G]firstborn ever said
[C]Running late when I hit the brakes
at a yel[Bm]low turning red
There's still [C]Kool- Aid on the console
that re[Bm]minds me of that day
So I'm a [Am]little sad to see it roll away,
[D]roll away
[Am]

[Verse 6]
[G]
[D]It [Bm]knows[C] more of my secrets,
[Bm]than I'll ever tell
[Am]So to keep from crying, as they tow it away

[Verse 7]
I tell myself
[D]I know it's a bad car[G],
I know it's a piece of junk
I [C]know the best tire on it, [G]is in the trunk
