      F   C                     F                        C
So we get loaded in the van and drive through the suburbs

       F   C                     G                       G
and we set out on highway thirty-five to discover.

           F     C                               F                C
What's the plan, sliding through the dark in all kinds of weather?

            F    C                   G                   G
Where's the map? One of us is barely holding it together.
[Chorus]
C                       G               Dm                    Am
I've still got all your basement tapes, I'm still hearing you drift away,

F                          C/E             G                     G
sing those things that you just don't say, right to your brother.

C                     G          Dm                Am
Hide your head in the evergreen, ply your heavenly alchemy,

F                     C/E             G                     G
still just living the Big Star dream, live with each other.

      F    C                      F                  C
So we tool down to Kansas City to sleep on a sofa

          F     C                          G              G
and we're cool, temporarily cos we're from   Minnesota.

      F  C                          F                C
Later on walking in the dark with a sweet babysitter

       F     C                             G                   G
on the lawn, talking while inside you made out with her sister.
[Chorus]
C                       G               Dm                    Am
I've still got all your basement tapes, I'm still hearing you drift away,

F                          C/E             G                     G
sing those things that you just don't say, right to your brother.

C                     G          Dm                Am
Hide your head in the evergreen, ply your heavenly alchemy,

F                     C/E             G                     G
still just living the Big Star dream, live with each other.

Dm              G              Am                 D          G         G
Summer diamonds rushing by us. Wake me up when we get there.
[Interlude] C | G | Dm | Am | F | C/E | G | G || [End-Chorus]
C                       G               Dm                    Am
I'm still cranking your basement tapes, I'm still hearing you drift away,

F                          C/E             G                     G
sing those things that you just don't say, right to your brother.

C                     G          Dm                Am
Hide your head in the evergreen, ply your heavenly alchemy,

F                     C/E             G                     G
still just living the Big Star dream, live with each other.
