[Intro Riff] This you add on later in the intro after
The last A where you hear the guitarist
Playing that quick lick. It sounds like
> < < < < >
[DGCD]
Then The Verses Sound Pretty Cool with this Stroke Pattern

For the chorus it remains the same so I like to change it up and cut out
the powerful
chugging up strokes and instead just play a simple strum pattern anything
you think you
sing to I suppose. Then for the bridge after the chorus you play the Intro
riff
the little add on) and then sing “So Come on baby get int” play it again
and then “Get
Just get in” play the riff again and then “Check out the trouble we’re in.”
Verse 1
[D]I'm driving black on [G]black
Just got my license [C]back
I got this [A]feeling in my veins this train is [D]coming off the track
I'll ask [G]polite if the devil needs a [C]ride
Because the[A] angel on my right ain't hanging[D] out with me tonight
I'm [G]driving past your house while you [C]were sneaking out
I got the [A]car door opened up so you can [D]jump in on the run
Your mom don't [G]know that you were missing
She'd be pissed [C]if she could see the parts of [A]you that I've been kissing
Screamin'
Chorus
[D]No, we're never gonna [G]quit
Ain't nothing wrong with [C]it
Just acting like we're [A]animals
[D]No, no matter where we [G]go
'Cause everybody [C]knows
We're just a couple of [A]animals
Intro Riff
So come on baby, get in
Intro Riff
Get in, just get in
Intro Riff
Check out the trouble we're in
Verse 2
(same as verse 1)
You're beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
'Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
I'm screamin'
Chorus
(same as the first one)
Verse 3
(same as verse 1)
We were parked out by the tracks
We're sitting in the back
And we just started getting busy
When she whispered "what was that?"
The wind, I think 'cause no one else knows where we are
And that was when she started screamin'
"That's my dad outside the car!"
Oh please, the keys, they're not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while
we were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing
Screamin'
Chorus
(same as the first one)
