Lyrics

*** verse 1

F#m e
You asked me to dinner
B f#m
You brought me stuff
E b
Now what do I make of that
F#m b
You made me an offer
E a
I called your bluff
E b
Now you're an amnesiac

*** chorus:

A e b
Driving with one hand on the wheel
A e b
Ordering luck with every meal
A e
Feeding on hope again never mind how
B
Small a portion

*** verse 2:

I said like we do f#m e
Like we'd like to think b f#m
I'll take care of myself e b
And who would've thought that f#m b
Initial drink e a
Would clear an entire shelf e b

*** chorus:

Driving with one hand on the wheel a e b
Ordering luck with every meal a e b
Feeding on hope again never mind how a e
Small a portion b

*** bridge:

A e b
You should look at it realistically
A e b
I know you couldn't be in love with me

*** verse 3:

You sat there as dumb f#m e
As a dog or cat b f#m
Just hoping it's for the best e b
As if anything ever f#m b
Comes from that e a
Except an appalling mess e b

*** chorus

Driving with one hand on the wheel a e b
Ordering luck with every meal a e b
Feeding on hope again never mind how a e
Small a portion b

*** verse 4

Now you didn't bank f#m e
On the alchemy b f#m
That flattery turns to love e b (possibly could be)
But you took that obstructions f#m b cause with top-heavy structures
Will always be e a there'll always be
The danger of falling off e b the danger of falling off

*** coda

Driving with one hand on the wheel a e b
Not knowing how or what to feel a e b
You only knew that it was enough to be a e
Feeling something b
