CHORUS 1:
F#         C#              B         C#
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
F#         C#              B         C#
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
F#         C#              B         C#
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
F#             C#              B         C#           E5
Some girl that knows the meanin' of a "Hey hit the highway"

F#         C#              B         C#
I've been walking the streets in the evening
F#         C#              B         C#
Racing through the human jungle at night
F#         C#              B         C#
I'm so confused my mind is indifferent
F#         C#              B         C#
Hey I'm so weak somebody shut off the light


Electricity runs through the video
As I watch from this hole I call home
All the stony's are dancin' to the radio
And I got the world calling me up here tonight on the phone

CHORUS 2:

I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Some girl to thrill me and then go away
I need a lover that won't drive me crazy
Some girl that knows that meaning of a "hey hit the highway"

BREAK 

Well I'm not wiped out by this poolroom life I'm living
Gonna quit this job go to school or head back home
Well I'm not asking to be loved or be forgiven
I just can't face shakin' in this bedroom one more night alone

CHORUS 1
