Intro: C5 , G5 , A5 , F5 x2


Verse one:
C5    
Stay the same, don't ever change
           G5
Cause I'd miss your ways
           A5
With your Bette Davis eyes
          F5             G5
And your mama's party dress
            C5        
While this city pumps it's aching heart
     G5
For one more drop of blood,
            A5 
We work our fingers down to dust
       F5                   G5
And we wait for kingdom come
               C5
With the radio on


Chorus:
        A5             F5
I wanna see you tonight
           C5           G5
Would you come for a drive?
         A5        F5
You can lean into me
         C5            G5
If you ain't been in love for a while


Repeat intro chords


Verse 2:
       C5
I was born beside a river
      G5
That flows to a raging sea
           A5 
That will one day serve to quell
    F5                 G5
Or one day be the death of me
      C5       
In my faded jeans and far away eyes
     G5 
And salty carnival kiss
      A5                      F5
That all my former lovers say
     G5             C5
Was once magnificent


Chorus:
        A5             F5
I wanna see you tonight
           C5            G5
Would you come for a drive?
         A5       F5
You can lean into me 
            C5               G5
And if you ain't oh if you ain't... 

         A5            F5
I wanna see you tonight
           C5           G5
Would you come for a drive?
         A5       F5
You can lean into me
         C5            G5             C5
If you ain't been in love for a while


Repeat intro chords again


Outro chorus:
                 A5              F5 
And still this city pumps it's aching heart
     C5                G5
For one more drop of blood
              A5             F5
We work our fingers down to dust
         C5                 G5
While we wait for kingdom come
                C5      G5      A5  
With the radio on
F5               C5      G5      A5
With the radio on
          F5               C5    G5   A5
It's been so long Mae, so long
          F5                 C5   G5   A5
It's been so long Mae, so long
F5                     C5
But since the radio's on...
