[Intro] | Em | C5/G | G5 | % | (x2) [Verse 1]
       Em    C5/G      G5
If you only once would let me,

Em  C5/G      G5
only just one time,

        Em    C5/G      G5
then be happy with the consequence,

         Em           C5/G      G5
with whatever's gonna happen tonight

Em          C5/G       G5
Don't think we're not serious

Em        C5/G  G5
When's it ever not

    Em      C5/G    G5
The love we make is give and it's take

    Em       C5/G G5
I'm game to play along
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em          C
All I can say,

Em           C
I shouldn't say
[Chorus 1]
               G                 D                   Em
Can we take a ride? Get out of this place while we still have time
[Post-Chorus 1]
Em    C5/G    G5
  oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Em    C5/G     G5
  oh oh, oh oh oh
[Verse 2]
        Em    C5/G    G5
All the best DJs are saving

    Em      C5/G      G5
The slowest song for last

         Em         C5/G         G5
When the dance is through, it's me and you

     Em            C5/G         G5
Come on, would it really be so bad?

      Em        C5/G      G5
The things we think might be the same.

    Em       C5/G      G5
But I won't fight for more.

      Em      C5/G   G5
It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve,

Em         C5/G   G5
count on that for sure
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em          C
All I can say,

Em           C
I shouldn't say
[Chorus 2]
               G                 D                   Em

                  G                 D                   Em
You wanna take a ride? Get out of this place while we still have time, yeah, we still have time
[Post-Chorus 2]
Em    C5/G    G5
  oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Em    C5/G     G5
  oh oh, oh oh oh

Em    C5/G    G5
  oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Em    C5/G     G5
  oh oh, oh oh oh
[Verse 3]
Em        C/G   G
Can't say I was never wrong,

    Em         C/G      G
but some blame rests on you.

Em       C/G           G
Work and play, they're never okay

   Em      C/G     G
to mix the way we do
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Em          C
All I can say,

Em           C
I shouldn't say
[Chorus 3]
               G                 D                   Em

                  G                 D                   Em
You wanna take a ride? Get out of this place while we still have time, we still have time
[Post-Chorus 3]
Em    C5/G    G5
  oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh

Em    C5/G     G5
  oh oh, oh oh oh
