(Appears on For all the Modern Lovers, Jonathan Sings (unreleased demo version) , Live In Germany 1985, Live in New York 1980 and Jonathan Sings)




Jonathan Sings version - Chords

All right this is a one, a two

A one two three four


F
So far she's taken three red lights

Four wrong turns

She's got the leatherette seat full of cigarette burns

Good-bye in the front

Good-bye all about

Stop this car I'm getting out
                   Bb         C
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
                 Bb      F
Stop this car I'm getting out!


F
I'm not gonna wait until we land in the brook

And have all the little fishies swim by and take a look

Now they're all laughing at us with the brook trout

Stop this car I'm getting out
                   Bb         C
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
                 Bb      F
Stop this car I'm getting out!


Bb
"Mellow out man, mellow out"
F
"No, no"

"Yeah, what's he so uptight about?"
Am
"No, no"

"Smoke some of this man"
C
"And act like an ostrich with his head in the sand?"
                   Bb         C
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
                 Bb      F
Stop this car I'm getting out!


                 Bb      F
Stop this car I'm getting out!


F
Suppose that deer runs across the road

Suppose that truck hits a rock in front of us

All you mellow little fellows could be scattered about

Stop this car I'm getting out
                   Bb         C
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
                 Bb      F
Stop this car I'm getting out!


Bb
"Jonathan don't make a scene!"
F
"O.K., just tell her to wait until the light turns green"
Am
"You're wild man, like your vibes are so uptight"
C
"Yeah, but not for long pal, I'm saying good night"


F
She's taken three red lights

Four wrong turns

She's got the leatherette seats full of cigarette burns

Bye in the front

Bye all about

Stop this car I'm getting out
                   Bb         C
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
                 Bb      F
Stop this car I'm getting out!


                   Bb         C
This time I'm gonna scream and shout
                 Bb      F
Stop this car I'm getting out!
