On The Drive Home chords by Niki (Nicole Zefanya)

Chords with lyrics

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

************************************
Some advice: During the verses, when you play G+G and go to C majorC you only add your index finger to the first fret
of the BB string, you don't need to play the full chord as it's only a transmission.
In the chorus and bridge you play the full C majorC).

D MajorD chord: The way she plays D MajorD is by doing the same shape of the regular C majorC chord
but playing it from the third fret, if you find it hard you can just play a regular D MajorD but this one sounds
better and is the original way she plays it.

Strumming: It's basically alternating strumming down the first 3 low strings with your thumb and always
plucking ONLY the BB string with your middle finger.

Verse 1:
G+G
Dear
    C majorC      E minorEm
Do you hear what I hear?
    G+G     C majorC      E minorEm
The crackle, of fear in the atmosphere
 G+G   C majorC   E minorEm
Mmmmm...mmm...mmmmm

G+G
Love
      C majorC      E minorEm
Keep your eyes on the road
 G+G                      C majorC     E minorEm
‘Cause when I stare all I see is two foggy windows to a lost soul

Chorus:
   C majorC             E minorEm
And maybe, maybe it’s all my fault
        C majorC
That it’s so quiet
          G+G
On the drive home

Verse 2:
 G+G      C majorC        E minorEm
Babe, can I build my home in your mind?
  G+G                C majorC   E minorEm
A augmentedA disheveled maze constellated and intertwined

Chorus:
   C majorC            E minorEm
But somehow, it’s my favorite kind
         C majorC
And my favorite view
                  G+G
When it untangles in the moonlight

Verse 3:

G+G         C majorC   E minorEm
Darlin’, we’re getting older
G+G                         C majorC    E minorEm
In less than 8 months you’ll wash tear stains off of your shoulder

C majorC
And drenched in alcohol and conceit
C majorC
The cold-blooded bodies quick on their feet
   E minorEm
Will tell you how to earn your stripes

Chorus:
        C majorC
And you’ll be listening while
  C majorC
I sit here with glistening eyes
  C majorC
As the stripes on my back chip and dry
   C majorC               D MajorD
You won’t be listening to my cries

Anymore

G+G C majorC   E minorEm
Woooooh~ woooooh~

Bridge:
   D MajorD           C majorC
And we’ll be two pieces of driftwood
  D MajorD                  C majorC
Floating in a sea of missed calls and excuses
      D MajorD
And your home will change into
         C majorC
Four walls and a mini fridge
  D MajorD            C majorC
Instead of four limbs and lips to kiss

Chorus:
C majorC  G+G  E minorEm         D MajorD
But for now, the night is young
       D MajorD       D MajorD
And you are here and snow patrol just came on the radio
  C majorC  G+G  C majorC
So darling, let’s take
 C majorC  G+G  C majorC       D MajorD
Darling, let’s take the long way home

G+G   C majorC E minorEm
Woooh, Oooh
G+G   C majorC E minorEm
Ooooh, Oooh
G+G       C majorC      E minorEm
Love, keep your eyes on the road
