1ST VERSE

C Bb F

I may not seem your ideal when you look into my eyes

Bb F Eb Bb F

I don't smoke, I don't tell jokes, I'm not the custom made size

C Bb F

But baby let me take you out on the highway for a while

Bb F Eb Bb F

I'll show yow where the man in me is when he doesn't hide

Pre-chorus

F Dm C Bb

Well he's cruising in the fast lane, stuck behind the wheel

Dm C Bb C FmMaj7

Jekyll and Hyde going on inside when I'm your automobile

Chorus

F Bb C

Let me be your car for a while child

Dm Bb F

Shift me into gear and I'll be there

Eb Eb Bb F C F Dm

Fill me up with five star gasoline girl

Eb Eb Bb F C F

I'll be your car, I'll take you anywhere

same chords as chorus

Let me be your car, come on and drive me

I'm a speedy little boy down deep inside

I got bucket seats and two speed window cleaners

Just let me be your car, oh come on and ride

same chords as verse 1

I can't dance, I don't dig it, I can't see it at all

You say I'm just a specimen, and baby I can crawl

Well my physique don't look the way the physiques really should

But then again I've got an engine underneath my hood

Pre-chorus

F Dm C Bb

When I'm cutting up the road with a sports car on my tail

Dm C Bb C FmMaj7

Frankenstein's inside my mind, and the wind's inside my sails

REPEAT CHOURS

INST VERSE

REPEAT VERSE - I can't dance I don't dig it...
