On The Drive Home chords by Niki (Nicole Zefanya)

• Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

************************************
Some advice: During the verses, when you play G and go to C you only add your index finger to the first fret
of the B 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).

D chord: The way she plays D is by doing the same shape of the regular C chord
but playing it from the third fret, if you find it hard you can just play a regular D 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 B string  with your middle finger.



Verse 1:
G

Dear
        C           Em
Do you hear what I hear?
       G         C            Em
The crackle, of fear in the atmosphere
  G      C      Em
Mmmmm...mmm...mmmmm

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

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

Verse 2:
  G           C               Em
Babe, can I build my home in your mind?
    G                                C     Em
A disheveled maze constellated and intertwined

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

Verse 3:

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

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

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

Anymore

G  C     Em
Woooooh~ woooooh~

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

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

G     C Em
Woooh, Oooh
G     C Em
Ooooh, Oooh
G              C            Em
Love, keep your eyes on the road
