Intro: C, G, Am, F x2
Verse one:
C
Stay the same, don't ever change
G
Cause I'd miss your ways
Am
With your Bette Davis eyes
F G
And your mama's party dress
C
While this city pumps it's aching heart
G
For one more drop of blood,
Am
We work our fingers down to dust
F G
And we wait for kingdom come
C
With the radio on
Chorus:
Am F
I wanna see you tonight
C G
Would you come for a drive?
Am F
You can lean into me
C G
If you ain't been in love for a while
Repeat intro chords

Verse 2:
C
I was born beside a river
G
That flows to a raging sea
Am
That will one day serve to quell
F G
Or one day be the death of me
C
In my faded jeans and far away eyes
G
And salty carnival kiss
Am F
That all my former lovers say
G C
Was once magnificent
Chorus:
Am F
I wanna see you tonight
C G
Would you come for a drive?
Am F
You can lean into me
C G
And if you ain't oh if you ain't...
Am F
I wanna see you tonight
C G
Would you come for a drive?
Am F
You can lean into me
C G C
If you ain't been in love for a while
Repeat intro chords again
Outro chorus:
Am F
And still this city pumps it's aching heart
C G
For one more drop of blood
Am F
We work our fingers down to dust
C G
While we wait for kingdom come
C G Am
With the radio on
F C G Am
With the radio on
F C G Am
It's been so long Mae, so long
F C G Am
It's been so long Mae, so long
F C
But since the radio's on...
