Steve Mcqueen Ukulele

(ver. 1)
The Automatic
Sweet Tune, Heard the acoustic version on radio so i thought i'd share it with you guys! 
is my own version of the acoustic one i've tried to make as accurate as possible.

To play it exactly like the real version i'd play it half a step down on capo 1, but it 
works if you wana leave it standard without a capo.

Am  X02210
Bm  X24432
C5  X35050
D   XX0232
D/F 200230
D5  X57050
Em  022000
E5  079080


INTRO - Em D Bm X4

Verse 1

E5                                    D5
Can't put my finger on what's changed
E5                                    D5
To my surprise I found everything the same
C5                                    D5
In a house that's not quite home
E5
Nothing was missing but something had gone

E5                                    D5
I hadn't seen my reflection in a while
E5                                    D5
I tried to (?) direction for miles
C5                                    D5
So I took a walk through town
E5
To see if someone moved the streets around

CHORUS

Em        D       Bm
   I was a teenage Steve McQueen
Em         D           Bm
   My best performance escaping
Em         D      Bm
   I was a teenage Steve McQueen
Em         D            Bm
   My best performance escaped me

VERSE 2

E5                                             D5
The engine was running but I couldn't get away
E5                                D5
I didn't see any reason to stay
C5                                D5
All my visions have been erased
E5
Just an extra with nothing to say

E5                                D5
I wrote myself into a new storyline
E5                                            D5
This part was different this time it was mine
C5                                D5
Now I'm lost in my own town
E5
It seems like someone moved the streets around

Just chasing just chasing just chasing my tail
