When We Drive chords by Death Cab For Cutie

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Key: D MajorD

Difficulty: Novice

For some reason Death Cab chose to play this song on quartertones, so for example the first chord is not
a perfect D MajorD but is instead the note that is between C#C# and D. I can't play those on a piano, so I've just
written everything as the higher pitch. Long story short, this will sound terrible if you play along with
the recording, but it will sound right if you play it and sing it alone.

Intro:
D MajorD  G+G
D MajorD  G+G

Verse 1:
D MajorD
I can't expect you to be honest
G+G                  D MajorD
Or to be faithful every day 'til the end
D MajorD               B minorBm
I just need you to be always a friend
D MajorD
As the sun sets over Dakotas
G+G              D MajorD
Underneath a crimson ocean of sky
D MajorD               B minorBm
Know I'll always want you by my side

When we drive
    D MajorD    G+G
When we drive


Verse 2:
D MajorD
You and I were born in motion
G+G                D MajorD
Never in one place for too long a time
D MajorD                   B minorBm
And now it's the only way we know to survive
D MajorD
I like the way your hair tangles
G+G                 D MajorD
The way your sun tan's only on one side
D MajorD               B minorBm
We always keep the windows open wide

Chorus:
    E minorEm  G+G
When we drive
    D MajorD
When we drive

When we drive
    D MajorD
When we drive


Bridge:
B minorBm      G+G            D MajorD
Climb into the back seat and close your eyes
       A augmentedA
I've got the wheel

And dream of all the places only we will find

Until the engine kicks and sputters

Until we roll the rubber off the tires

Know I'll always need you by my side

When we drive
    D MajorD   B minorBm
When we drive
    E minorEm  G+G
When we drive
