Well, this is a first crack at making a tab, mostly cause I 
couldn't find a tab that sounded like the song (well at least 
when I was playing it).

Awesome song, but the guitar is very soft, so it's hard to pick 
up the exact picking order. This isn't exactly how I like to play 
it, but I think this is what the lovely Bic Runga does on 
the recording.

Standard Tuning (EADGBe), Capo on the 5th.

Chords are as follows (relative to the capo)

[F]         [Am]       [Dm7]           [C]
I know it's late now I know I ought to go
[F]          [Am]        [Dm7]                [C]
Ride in your car now but please don't drop me home
[F]          [Am]         [Dm7]         [C]
My head's so heavy, could this be all a dream?
[F]        [Am]       [Dm7]                [C]
Promise me maybes and say things you don't mean

[Bb]           [Am]              [Dm7]       [Dm7]
Rain fall from concrete coloured sky
[Bb]          [Am]
No boy, don't speak now you just
[F]    [Am]   [Dm7]          [C]
Drive, drive, drive, Take me through make me feel 
[F]    [Am]   [Dm7]            [C]
Alive, alive, When I ride with you

[F]           [Am]       [Dm7]        [C]
Keep my heart turning on axles around you
[F]           [Am]         [Dm7]           [C]
Keep our love burning just like it used to do
[F]          [Am]           [Dm7]              [C]
Now just for us, they could play our favourite tune
[F]          [Am]           [Dm7]             [C]
Let's not discuss all these things we can't undo

[Bb]           [Am]              [Dm7]       [Dm7]
Let rain fall from concrete coloured sky
[Bb]          [Am]
No boy, don't speak now you just

[F]    [Am]   [Dm7]          [C]
Drive, drive, drive, Take me through make me feel 
[F]    [Am]   [Dm7]            [C]
Alive, alive, When I ride with you

[Bb]           [Am]              [Dm7]      [Dm7]
Let rain fall from concrete coloured sky
[Bb]          [Am]
No boy, don't speak now you just

[Dm7]
Drive...
