Chords

Morning Report (2016) Not that it really changes anything, but I find it might sound a little more like the original recording if you transpose it down 2 and put the capo on 2. It's the same chords, but the particular pitch changes sound a little more accurate. [Intro] Em C Bm [Verse 1]
               Em
We called it a party

     C                   Bm
Even though everybody was sad

                        Em
You showed up with some coffee

       C              Bm
Stated moving at seven am

                         Em
You were having trouble sleeping

            C                   Bm
I was having trouble keeping still

                         Em
When we talk it's like a meeting

         C                    Bm
Full of budgets and utility bills
[Chorus]
               Em               
Driving on the highway home

G
  This time alone

        D                     C
Doesn't mean the same without you

                 Em  G
I turned on the radio to something slow

        D                   C
Just to let it fuck with my mood

                 Em        G
And songs don't sound the same

        D                    C    C Bm
Without you in the passenger seat

        D
Without you

                     Em C Bm Em C Bm
In the passenger seat
[Verse 2]
                        Em
We made a deal when we started

       C                      Bm
And we knew it would take some work

                       Em
Every day was like a party

           C               Bm
And living life with no concern

                Em
I remember the feeling

   C                     Bm
Of driving to my parents' place

                   Em
I'd lean on in to kiss you

         C                       Bm
See the gap toothed smile on your face
[Chorus]
               Em               
Driving on the highway home

G
  This time alone

        D                     C
Doesn't mean the same without you

                 Em  G
I turned on the radio to something slow

        D                   C
Just to let it fuck with my mood

                 Em        G
And songs don't sound the same

        D                    C    C Bm
Without you in the passenger seat

        D
Without you
[Bridge]
Am
You and I always laughed at the system

G
No, we wouldn't be just another statistic

C                             G
We said those things all those years ago

Am
I read some things I shouldn't have seen

G
And you look like you've given up trying

    C
You think I don't care when you walk in the room

D
Katie just tell me, now what can I do?
[Chorus]
               Em
Driving on the highway home

G
   This time alone

        D                     C
Doesn't mean the same without you

                Em   G  
I turned on the radio to something slow

         D                   C
Just to let it fuck with my mood

               Em
When the road starts to bend

G
And the signal ends

         D                      C
And only static's coming through

                  Em
I think about the things you said

G
They all go in my head

       D                        C
I'm alone because I know it's true

                 Em         G
And songs don't sound the same

         D                   C     C Bm
Without you in the passenger seat

         D
Without you

                     Em C Bm Em C Bm
In the passenger seat
