let’s go for a drive , see the town tonight
C/E Dm C/E F
there’s nothing to do but i don’t mind when i’m with you

C/E Dm C/E F

C/E Dm C/E F
this town’s so strange they built it to change
C/E Dm C/E F
and while we sleep we know its streets were rearranged
C/E Dm C/E F
my old friends , can’t remember when
C/E Dm C/E F
before your war against the suburbs began
C/E Dm C/E F
before it began

C/E F C/E Dm
now the music divides us into tribes
C/E F C/E Dm
grew your hair so i’ll grew mine
C/E F C/E Dm C/E F
so the past won’t rest , till you jump the fence and leave it behind

C/E Dm C/E F
my old friends , i can remember when
C/E Dm C/E F
you cut your hair , i never saw you again
C/E Dm C/E F
now the cities we live in could be distant stars
C/E Dm C/E F
and i searched for you in every passing car

F Am
it was so long
F Am
yeah it was so long
F Am
i’ve been living in the shadows of your song
F Am
living in the shadows of your song

Dm C/E F C/E x2

C/E Dm C/E F
in the suburbs i , i learned to drive
C/E Dm C/E F
you told me we would never survive ,
C/E Dm C/E F
so grab your mother’s keys we leave tonight

C/E Dm C/E F
but we started a war that we can’t win
C/E Dm C/E F
we keep erasing all the streets we grew up in
C/E Dm C/E F
and now the music divides us into tribes
C/E Dm C/E F
choose your side , i’ll choose my side

Dm F
