Gonna blow my top.

A                     D

 Spread out the oil, the gasoline,
I walk smooth, ride in a mean,
        D
Mean ma-chine.

       D
If you start it up,
Kick on the starter,

  D
I can't compete,
With the riders,
       G
In the other heats.

If you rough it up,
If you like it,
        G
You can slide it up,
(Slide it up).

 Don't make a grown man cry,
A                       D
 Don't make a grown man cry.

Bridge 2:

(n.c)
 My eyes dilate, my lips go green,
My hands are greasy;

I'm a real mean ma-chine.
