INTRO:

[play:  D5  Bb5  C5  G5 ]  [x4]


VERSE:
       D5        Bb5       C5           G5
In the back of a car on a road in the dark,
       D5          Bb5       C5            G5
In the stillicide, silently falling snow,
       D5          Bb5           C5        G5
I have packed everything that I own in a bag,
        D5           Bb5         C5  G5
And I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho,


[play:  D5  Bb5  C5  G5 ]  [x2]


  D5       Bb5         C5         G5
A poem for leaving, a reason to go,
       D5           Bb5         C5  G5
So I'm driving, I'm driving to Idaho.


CHORUS:
         F5     D5    Bb5
'Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me,
      F5     D5   Bb5
And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free,
                G5     C5                            G5    C5
I don't want to fall a-sleep and watch my life from fifty feet,
                    G5           Bb5         C5   F5
My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Ida-ho,


[play:  F5  C5   F5  C5 ]

         F5         C5      F5      C5
'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...


VERSE:
    D5            Bb5              C5         G5
And oh, I've been dumb, I've been perfectly beautiful,
D5         Bb5          C5           G5
Lain on my back buying lovers with stealth,
        D5          Bb5           C5        G5
But I'm sick of you all, and I'm sick of opinions,
        D5           Bb5    C5         G5
And I'm sick of this war I wage on myself...


BRIDGE:
  D5                 C5             D5       C5 - F5 - C5
I don't know why I'm so gripped to go there
  D5       C5           D5     C5 - F5 - C5
A universe riddle that only I know?
D5         Bb5          C5          G5
Mr. Robert says, "It's all in the head!"
         D5               Bb5          C5   G5
Tell me, Phaedrus, what's good, is it Ida-ho?


CHORUS:
         F5     D5    Bb5
'Cause I can't be anyone but me, anyone but me,
      F5     D5   Bb5
And I can't keep dreaming that I'm free, dreaming that I'm free,
                G5     C5                            G5    C5
I don't want to fall a-sleep and watch my life from fifty feet,
                    G5           Bb5         C5   F5
My hands are on the wheel so I'm driving to Ida-ho,


[play:  F5  C5   F5  C5 ]

         F5         C5      F5      C5
'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...


[play:  D5  Bb5  C5  G5 ]  [x4]


[repeat CHORUS]

[play:  F5  C5   F5  C5 ]

         F5         C5      F5      C5
'Cause I hear it's mighty pretty...
      C5   F5
...in Ida-ho.
