okay , these are the exact right chords , and you can play them exactly this
way if you want . being that i’m using a ukulele , i play it differently
because some of these chords don’t even exist in ukulele world . i don’t know
how my simplified version would sound on a guitar , but you can give it A
shot .
my simplified chords :
Em7 = Em
Em7/B = B
Em7/A = Em
Em7/G = Em
Em/G = G
Em7/D = D
D/F# = D
the simplification probably won’t work on a guitar , but maybe it will .
anyway , here is the complete and unsimplified version of the song
tune your guitar down a semitone ( though i don’t , and it sounds fine . )
intro :
Em7 – Em7 – Em7/B – Em7/B – Em7/A – Em7/A – Em/G – Em/D
Em7
i know what you want
Em7/B
i wanna take you to a midnight show tonight
Em7
if you can keep a secret
Em7/B
i’ve got a blanket in the backseat on my mind ,
C Bm Em7
and a little place that sits beneath the sky .
C Bm
she turned her face to speak ,
D
but no one heard her cry .
– mute – – – – – – – Em7 Em7/B
drive faster , boy – – – – –
Em7/A Em/G Em7/D
drive faster , boy – – – – – yeah – –
Em7
i know there’s a hope .
Em7/B
there’s too many people trying to help me cope .
Em7
you’ve got a real short skirt ,
Em7/B
i wanna look up , look up , look up , yeah , yeah .
Em7
we were just in time ,
Em7/B
let me take a little more off your mind .
Em7
there’s something in my head ,
somewhere in the back said :
Em7/B
we were just a good thing , we were such a good thing .
C Bm Em7
make it go away without a word .
C Bm
but promise me you’ll stay ,
D
and fix these things i’ve hurt .
– mute strings – – – – – Em7 Em7/B
oh make it go away , oh – – – – .
Em7/G Em/G Em7/D
drive faster , boy – – – – , yeah , oh no ,
solo :
Em7 – Em7 – Em7/B – Em7/B – Em7/A – Em7/A – Em/G – Em/D
C Bm Em7
a crashing tide can’t hide a guilty girl .
C Bm Em7
with jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls .
C Bm Am
i took my baby’s breath , beneath the chandelier .
G
of stars in atmosphere ,
D/F# D Em7 Em7/B
and watched her disappear , into the midnight show – – – –
Em7/A Em/G Em7/D
A – faster , A – faster , A – faster , A – faster , faster , A – faster ,
Em7
oh no , no , no , no , no , no ,
Em7/B
no , no , no , no , no .
Em7/A
if you can keep a secret ,
