VERSE

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


BRIDGE

E
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

    E        G#m    B        
A trumpet and a trombone
    E        G#m    B
Still echoing in the hall
    E        G#m    B
And bells ringing out at dawn


BACK TO BRIDGE

E
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

   E           G#m    B
I knew you when i was young
   E          G#m     B
The loveliest girl in town
  E             G#m    B
I wish you were still around

E G#m B

  E G#m     B
I waited a long time
E  G#m  B
I bore you
  E G#m     B
I waited a long time
  B       A E
I lost you
      E  G#m         B
I was sleeping in the backseat
     E G#m B
When I got home
      E G#m     B
I was finally reminded
 B        A E
I lost you
