I Woke Up in a Car
Something Corporate

This is my first tab, but I'll try and make it as good as possible.  A few notes before
begin.  You will see that I have Eb5 for a chord, I believe it is an Eb chord but I'm
sure the exact progression so if you have any input on that let me know.  Secondly, 
is an Ab chord but that can also be played, during the verse, as Absus or Ab4, play
you feel sounds better. And the Db in parenthesis is in parenthesis because it's not 
used as a full chord just as a passing tone between the other two.  So play it 
lightly and quickly.

I woke up in a car

Verse 2 (same chord progression as first verse

I met a girl who kept tattoos for homes that she had loved

If I were her I'd paint my body til all my skin was gone

she wrote me a letter as we passed through Rockford

she said she wont forget

And maybe I do, maybe I don't,

but I know I haven't yet

so here i am, well here i am wooo
