Verse 1:

G#m                           A
         She loves to drive east in the evening,

     H                         A
when the sun is all golden and low.

G#m           A
         When nobody knows she's arriving,

            H                 A
and there's nobody waiting at home.

    C#m           A
She told that she still has a lover,

         E                    H
but he's away for a year at a time.

   F#m             A
And if I wanted to I could go see her,

         E                     H
but she told me she'd never be mine


Verse 2:

G#m                           A
       She said that she loves to go dancing,

          H                  A
but she'd rather go dancing alone.

G#m                          A
       She said that there's no point in dancing,

          H                  A
with someone that you already know.

F#m                      A
Then she asked me if she met a stranger,

        E                     H
would I share her for only an hour.

F#m                     A
She said don't worry boy there's no danger,

        E                      H
I get amnesia straight after a shower.


Chorus:

C#m                 E
And I know that you do what you say

    C#m                       E
And what you want while you're away

                         C#m             E
I just wish you wouldn't look at me that way

    D        D      C#m      C#m7
For so long,        so long

Verse 3:

G#m                     A
don't wait for me in the darkness,

      H                        A
I can find my way home if it's clear.

    G#m          A
By observing the stars and their movements,

       H                        A
and by holding a shell to my ear

F#m                                      A
She said boy you'd better find yourself somewhere new to go,

 E                      B
after your days work is done

       F#m                      A
Because me I love to drive east in the evening

        E                          H
I can'??t wait for the night time to come

F#m             A
I love to drive east in the evening

                     E            H
you know it makes me feel so alive

      F#m                  A
I can't wait for his sweet return

    E                     H
and for the night time to arrive

C#m                 E
And I know that you do what you say

And what you want while you're away

                         C#m             E
I just wish you wouldn't look at me that way

For so long,             so long
