    C911
8   Just to scare mom

G12               D13           C14             Cadd915  C16  Cmaj717

G34
25   He said a car can cure any problem at all
          C935
26   Cause seeing all those parts makes a fight look so small
G36                              D37
27   But I wish he'd put me and Sally in the backseat and
     C38            Cadd939  C40  Cmaj741

             G44                      D45

                             C46     Cadd947  C48  Cmaj749
34   beneath the light of the moon

37   But if it were me
F52                G53
38   I'd have the guts
F54              G55            C56    Cmaj757       Am58
39   I'd put to test   those bolts        and nuts
           Em59  Am60
40   And I'd Ride

55   Most times are good it's just some that are lame
        C981
56   But love makes up for those times in beteween
             G82                     D83            C84    Cadd985
57   He got a tear in his eye as he took mamma's hand
C86            Cmaj787         G88
