Chords with lyrics
Through most of the song the two guitar players are pretty much playing chords at
different rhythms. I haven't tabbed out the solo part just yet and there are some little fills
throughout that you can figure out yourself. Very fun song to play!
Use barre chords and play around with the fingerings. In the recording they mute the 1st
and 6th strings most of the time.

Not coming back but I can't stop waiting
Give me a minute while my heart stops breaking
D MajorD
Give me a minute while I fix my tie
E MajorE
Give me a minute while I take my life
A augmentedA
Back into my own hands,
There's a Chevy Thunder on the drive tonight
D MajorD
I'll take your father's car,
E MajorE
And I'm not coming back alive
D MajorD
You know you could've been here, honey
F# minorF#m
Sitting by my right-hand side, tonight
E MajorE
I'll take your father's car, and
C#C#
Drive, drive, drive!
D MajorD
And whatever I never could ever let you go (let you go)
A augmentedA
I'm a lover and probably at heart but (I wouldn't know)
E MajorE N.C.
I'm riding I'm riding as fast as this car goes
Chevy Thunder, Chevy, Chevy Thunder!

Once in a while not twice in a while
When heaven brakes, I see you smile
D MajorD
I know it hurts, I know it hurts,
E MajorE
I know, (woah ohh woah-oh)
A augmentedA
I'm not what you want
You fell in love with an idea
D MajorD
And I was never never never never never enough
E MajorE
Tonight I'm riding out of here
D MajorD
You know you could've been here, honey
F# minorF#m
Sitting by my right-hand side, tonight
E MajorE
I'll take your father's car, and

Drive, drive, drive!

There's only so many ways to wake up,
F# minorF#m E MajorE
To wake up, next to you
D MajorD A augmentedA
But every single time feels like
F# minorF#m E MajorE
I'm waking up anew
D MajorD A augmentedA
Just give me one little piece of your heart
F# minorF#m E MajorE
And I swear I will be true
D MajorD A augmentedA
Just give me one little piece of your heart
F# minorF#m E MajorE A augmentedA
And I'll break my own in two, for you
