The version that has the key changes between each verse is undoubtedly more true to the song.

[VERSE 1]
D                F#m
   You feel like Steve McQueen
          G               A
when your driving in your car

  fly your own private Lear jet
D                       F#m
  but you worked in the grocery store
     G                      A
everyday until you could afford to get away
D                F#m
  so you went to Sweden to meet
       G                   A
Ingmar Bergman. He wasn't there
                  D
or he just didn't care
                      F#m
I think it's time for you my friend

G
  and long ago
A
  but you don't want to know
