When We Drive chords by Death Cab For Cutie

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: D

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 but is instead the note that is between 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.

Verse 1:
D
I can't expect you to be honest

Or to be faithful every day 'til the end
D                             Bm
I just need you to be always a friend
D
As the sun sets over Dakotas
G                            D
Underneath a crimson ocean of sky
D                              Bm
Know I'll always want you by my side


Chorus:
        Em    G
When we drive

When we drive


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


Chorus:
        Em    G
When we drive
        D
When we drive
        Em    G
When we drive

When we drive


Bridge:
Bm            G                       D
Climb into the back seat and close your eyes
             A
I've got the wheel
Em                  G                    Asus4    A
And dream of all the places only we will find

D
I can't expect you to be honest

Or to be faithful every day 'til the end
D                               Bm
I just need you to be always a friend
D
Until the engine kicks and sputters
G                                D
Until we roll the rubber off the tires
D                               Bm
Know I'll always need you by my side


Chorus:
        Em    G

When we drive
        Em    G
When we drive
