🎸 Intro:
G Am7 Em
🎸 Verse 1:
G
Love
Am7 Em
Keep your eyes on the road
G Am7 Em
‘Cause when I stare all I see is two foggy windows to a lost soul
🎸 Chorus:
Am7 Em
And maybe, maybe it’s all my fault
G D/F# C/G
That it’s so quiet
G
On the drive home
🎸 Verse 2:
G Am7 Em
Babe, can I build my home in your mind?
G Am7 Em
A disheveled maze constellated and intertwined
🎸 Chorus:
C/G Em
But somehow, it’s my favorite kind
G D/F# C/G
And my favorite view
G
When it untangles in the moonlight
🎸 Verse 3:
G Am7 Em
Darlin’, we’re getting older
G Am7 Em
In less than 8 months you’ll wash tear stains off of your shoulder
Am7
And drenched in alcohol and conceit
The cold-blooded bodies quick on their feet
Em
Will tell you how to earn your stripes
🎸 Chorus:
G D/F# C/G
And you’ll be listening while
G D/F# C/G
I sit here with glistening eyes
G D/F# C/G
As the stripes on my back chip and dry
G D/F# C/G D/F#
You won’t be listening to my cries
Anymore
G Am7 Em
Woooooh~ woooooh~
🎸 Bridge:
Bm7 Am7
And we’ll be two pieces of driftwood
Bm7 Am7
Floating in a sea of missed calls and excuses
Bm7
And your home will change into
Am7
Four walls and a mini fridge
Bm7 Am7
Instead of four limbs and lips to kiss
🎸 Chorus:
G D/F# C/G Em
But for now, the night is young
G D/F#
And you are here and snow patrol just came on the radio
G D/F# C/G
So darling, let’s take
G D/F# C/G D/F#
Darling, let’s take the long way home
G Am7 Em
Woooh
Oooh
G Am7 Em
Ooooh
Oooh
G Am7 Em
Love, keep your eyes on the road
