VERSE

      Ab5     C#5
Drive on drive on
      Ab5     C#5
The highway bright and long
     A5     Ab5   E5
The river's overflowing
     A5     Ab5   E5
The house's burning down
      Ab5     C#5
Drive on drive on
      Ab5     C#5
The engines on the lawn
     A5     Ab5       E5
We kiss goodbye and drink up
     A5     Ab5       E5
Some hours before the dawn
     A5     Ab5       E5
We kiss goodbye and drink up
     A5       Ab5         E5
I'll miss you when you're gone


BRIDGE

E5
So throw me a line
Throw me a line
My heart's underneath
Aside on our feet
The windows are shaking
And so are my bones
The worlds going round
Throw me a rope


CHORUS

    E5        Ab5    B5        
A trumpet and a trombone
    E5        Ab5    B5
Still echoing in the hall
    E5        Ab5    B5
And bells ringing out at dawn


BACK TO BRIDGE

E5
So hang on to me
Hang on to me
The world's going round
And time's coming round
The headlights are swinging all over the lawn
So throw me a rope
Throw me a rope


CHORUS

   E5           Ab5    B5
I knew you when i was young
   E5          Ab5     B5
The loveliest girl in town
  E5             Ab5    B5
I wish you were still around

E5 Ab5 B5

  E5 Ab5     B5
I waited a long time
E5  Ab5  B5
I bore you
  E5 Ab5     B5
I waited a long time
  B5       A5 E5
I lost you
      E5  Ab5         B5
I was sleeping in the backseat
     E5 Ab5 B5
When I got home
      E5 Ab5     B5
I was finally reminded
 B5        A5 E5
I lost you
