Intro: C, G, Am, FF x2


Verse one:
C majorC
Stay the same, don't ever change
      G+G
Cause I'd miss your ways
      A minorAm
With your Bette Davis eyes
     FF       G+G
And your mama's party dress
      C majorC
While this city pumps it's aching heart
   G+G
For one more drop of blood,
      A minorAm
We work our fingers down to dust
    FF          G+G
And we wait for kingdom come
        C majorC
With the radio on


Chorus:
    A minorAm       FF
I wanna see you tonight
      C majorC      G+G
Would you come for a drive?
     A minorAm    FF
You can lean into me
     C majorC      G+G
If you ain't been in love for a while


Repeat intro chords


Verse 2:
    C majorC
I was born beside a river
   G+G
That flows to a raging sea
      A minorAm
That will one day serve to quell
  FF         G+G
Or one day be the death of me
   C majorC
In my faded jeans and far away eyes
   G+G
And salty carnival kiss
   A minorAm           FF
That all my former lovers say
   G+G       C majorC
Was once magnificent

Chorus:
    A minorAm       FF
I wanna see you tonight
      C majorC      G+G
Would you come for a drive?
     A minorAm    FF
You can lean into me
      C majorC        G+G
And if you ain't oh if you ain't...

     A minorAm      FF
I wanna see you tonight
      C majorC      G+G
Would you come for a drive?
     A minorAm    FF
You can lean into me
     C majorC      G+G       C majorC
If you ain't been in love for a while


Repeat intro chords again


Outro chorus:
         A minorAm       FF
And still this city pumps it's aching heart
   C majorC        G+G
For one more drop of blood
       A minorAm       FF
We work our fingers down to dust
     C majorC         G+G
While we wait for kingdom come
        C majorC   G+G   A minorAm
With the radio on
FF        C majorC   G+G   A minorAm
With the radio on
     FF        C majorC  G+G  A minorAm
It's been so long Mae, so long
     FF         C majorC  G+G  A minorAm
It's been so long Mae, so long
FF           C majorC
