Driving Me Mad Lyrics
by Neil Finn
"Driving Me Mad" - Neil Finn / One Nil (2001)
http://www.youtube.com/watch'v=gtfmQvndTiI&feature=related is a useful acoustic version
to get you the feel for it. There are tabs out there with base position chords, but
actually the chord structure is even simpler to play this way I think.
The song is best played in standard tuning, based for the verse starting on the 7th
fret, with open strings ringing on in the background
0 0 5 7^5 and back to Em(1)
Deadlines again
Feel like hiding out
No sign of comfort yet
Have a nap while no ones looking
Bring some inspi ration to the
man in my head
A namesake out of reach
Strange days upon us now
we leave the dust of conversation
(move to standard Am at base position)
Hanging in the light above the bed
Leave me now
0 1 0 3 3 (hammer back onto D)
Cos tonight its dri ving me mad
(repeat chords)
I guess I'll be all right
But tonight it's driving me mad
Year after year
Demons always come
Fail to materialise Way beyond my understanding
Find my only comfort in your hands
Hold me now
Cos tonight its driving me mad
This dream can fill you up
But tonight it's driving me mad
0 0 0 0 (and repeat)
Do do do do dooo (etc)
Hey diamond girl
Restless in my head
Say what lies between us
A host of everyday distractions
But most of all its music taking me
It's driving me mad
Still I can't refuse
Even when it's driving me mad
I guess I'll be all right
When tomorrow brings some relief
This dream can fill you up
So put it out and find what's underneath
Repeat Bride but end on Em7 at base position
