VERSE:

I wanna be bigger stronger, drive a faster car,
C/G Dadd4 Am
To take me anywhere in circles, to take me anywhere I wanna go,
Am Am/F#
And drive around, a faster car,
C/G Dadd4 Am
I will settle for nothing less, I will settle for nothing less

(Then repeat the verse again and at the end strum Am for a couple of bars)

POST CHORUS: ie. the bit after the chorus
The rhythm plays an Am, D progression here a few times)

Then return to the Am, D progression and there is one line of the verse at the very end..

That is a pretty rough stab at it, and please forgive me for it being hard to follow, but
I hope it will help you get a grasp on it some way or another.. Enjoy!
