Ghost Mice – Figure 8 tab

   E                        A       E
my dad built a racecar with his own hands
   E                          A             E
he raced the figure 8 against many reckless men
        A               E
driving deadly, driving metal
        A               E
driving wicked, driving fast 
       A                 E
always towards that intersection
     A                  E
just praying they won't crash
          B                    A
once when sitting on his lap I asked
                   E    A    E    A
"how do you not collide?
            B                      A
when you're flying so fast to that crossroads
              E    A    E    A
how do you decide?
      F#                     A
who's gonna slow down, who's gonna give in
       E                F#        A
maybe enough to let the other guy win?
F#                     A   
who's gonna take their foot off the gas
       E                F#        A
maybe enough to let the other guy pass?"
         E
he said "son here's some advice
          A                         E
you gotta promise that you'll never take
    E
the trick to it is my boy
            F#    A             E
is that you never never hit the brake"
         E                                 A
he said "son don't grow up to be a racecar driver"
         E                                          A
he said "son don't grow up to be anything like your father"
         E
he said "look at my car it's been ripped in half
        A      
and I'm lucky to be alive
             E
and when you turn sixteen
                        A        E
I will teach you how to drive"
