Chords

[Verse 1]
                G
Don’t turn your back on me

   G
Or read in between my words

              C
I’m trying to drag this out

           G
Taking the scenic route

  Em                           D                   G
I know we could get there much faster if we wanted to

    Em                      D              G
But that isn’t what you and I came here to do
[Verse 2]
   G
No nails to untie the knots

   G
No veins left to take the shots

   C
No touch to end a fight

   G
Or letting who’s wrong be right

           Em
We’re just sitting like novels

      D                        G
We’ve picked up but never read through

Em            D                              G
You think you know my ending, I think I know yours, too

         Em               G         D                         G
You see, nowhere in these old conversations is there anything new
[Bridge]
Em             A7                D
Even though we know the sun will rise

Em           A7                   D
Every ray of light still takes us by, by surprise

[Bridge 2]
                   C
Baby, leave it all behind

            D
Miss a road sign

Em                       G
I don’t want to get home soon

          C   D                      Em
Drive the car all the way around the moon

G                  C
Baby, we could get lost

   D                     Em
We have another state to cross

         G               C         
We could find each other out

         D                     Em     G C
Tell our secrets on the scenic route

D                        Em   G
I don’t want to get home soon

C         D              Em   G  C
Drive the car around the moon

                D            Em
I don’t want to crush you or rush you

    G                       C      D           Em         G         
I’m not going faster if you want to and if you want to

C               D           Em
I don’t want to rush you or crush you

      G                     C       D Em
But I won’t go faster if you want to

G                     C       D Em
It’s not what we came here to do

               C D Em G
I just want to drive

               C D Em G
I just want to drive
