The Men That Drive Me Places

	  		Intro: D D/C Bm A G A D 

D                D/C             Bm                     A 
Howard drives a minivan with the cruise ships from Ft. Lauderdale 
         G                   A   D 
And it's been that way since 1994 
D                       D/C                Bm               A 
Does his business on a flip phone with the most obnoxious ringtone 
          G             A                 D 
I didn't ask but I can tell he's from New York 
             Bm                A                    G                 G/F#  
And he spoke proudly of his daughter and that this fall she'd be in college  
              G                 A          D 
And that he always wished he'd gotten his degree 
         Bm                 A                G              G/F# 
You can tell he came from nothing, built a future out of hustling 
            G               A               D 
And somehow I'm the one you people pay to see 

G               D 
Oh isn't that just the way it goes 
                     A                       Bm 
You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated 
G                D     
Oh how am I the only one who knows  
              A                            D   D/C  Bm  A  G  A  D  
I'm half the man of the men who drive me places 

D                 D/C           Bm               A 
Danny showed up early fifteen minutes till five thirty 
         G                A              D 
Making sure that I'd be on my morning flight 
             D              D/C                    Bm              A  
He said he'd love to fix computers, but that he can't until he's fluent 
                   G             A             D          
So he spends his driving money taking class at night 
            Bm              A                G                 G/F#  
He wore a neatly ironed dress shirt and he helps his kids with homework 
           G                A              D  
And deep inside I couldn't help but ask myself 
              Bm              A         G             G/F# 
Why that at night I'm up on stage, everybody knows my name 
                G           A            D  
While Danny's early picking up somebody else 

G              D  
Oh isn't that just the way it goes 
                    A                 Bm 
You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated 
G                D 
Oh how am I the only one who knows  
             A                             D   D/C  Bm  A  G  A  D 
I'm half the man of the men that drive me places 

             D             D/C           Bm            A 
And now everything's not given, I work hard to make my living 
              G                A            Bm  
But I'll give credit where I think credits due 
       Bm                  A  
Maybe you got dealt a good hand 
           G                    G/F# 
Maybe you play it the best that you can 
     G                Bm       G                  A    
But I don't know how far you'd walk without those cards 
   G                         A 
In Howard and Danny's working shoes 

G            D 
But that's just the way it goes 
                    A                   Bm 
You're dealt a good hand and you get celebrated 
G                 D  
Oh how am I the only one who knows  
               A                  D   D/C  Bm  A  G  A  D  
I'm half the man of the men that drive me places
