Cars are cars all over the world
G D G
Cars are cars all over the world

Similarly made. Similarly sold
D G
In a motorcade. Abandoned when they're old
D G F/G
Cars are cars all over the world

Cars are cars all over the world

Engine in the front. Jack in the back
D G
Wheels take the brunt. Pinion and a rack
C D G
Cars are cars all over the world
C D G
Cars are cars all over the world
F#m7 Bm7
But people are strangers
C6 Bm7
They change with the curve
Gmaj7 F#m7
From time zone to time zone
Em7 D
As we can observe
Bm7 F#m7
They shut down their borders
C6 Gmaj7
And think they're immune
Bm7 D/C
They stand on their differences
C G
And shoot at the moon
G D G
But cars are cars all over the world
G D G
Cars are cars all over the world
D G
Drive 'em on the left. Drive 'em on the right
D G
Susceptible to theft in the middle of the night
C D G
Cars are cars all over the world
C D G
Cars are cars all over the world
F#m7 Bm7
I once had a car
C6 Bm7
That was more like a home
Gmaj7 F#m7
I lived in it, loved in it
Em7 D
Polished its chrome
Bm7 F#m7
If some of my homes
C6 Gmaj7
Had been more like my car
Bm7 D/C
I probably wouldn't have
C G
Travelled this far
D G
Cars are cars all over the world
D G
Cars are cars all over the world
C D G
Cars are cars all over the world
C D G
Cars are cars all over the world
C D G
Cars are cars all over the world
