Cars and trucks, drive by me on the corner
when I'm alright, standing time before the signal
When I see the light, I feel like more than just a number
And I stand by you, or else we just don't see the others

5. Main Riff (8 times, last 4 with lyrics)
Bikes and vans, drive right by me on the desert
but I'm alright, standing underneath the hot sun
when I see the light, I feel like more than just a number
and I stand by you, or else we just don't see the others

10. Intro (4 times)

11. Main Riff (8 times, last 4 with lyrics)
I need you, to let me know if there's a heartbeat
let it pound and pound, and I'll be flyin like a freebird
you need me, like ugly needs a mirror
and day by day, i guess our eyes are getting clearer

12. End with the intro (try E and G power chords up on 7 and 10)
There are bits of lead throughout the song but i'll leave that to you
since I don't play them. Just make sure there's plenty of distortion
on all guitars. Neil would want it that way.
