On The Drive Home

[Verse 1]
G
Dear
C Em
Do you hear what I hear?
G C Em
The crackle, of fear in the atmosphere
G C Em
Mmmmm…mmm…mmmmm

G
Love
C Em
Keep your eyes on the road
G C Em
‘Cause when I stare all I see is two foggy windows to a lost soul

[Chorus]
C Em
And maybe, maybe it’s all my fault
C
That it’s so quiet
G
On the drive home

[Verse 2]
G C Em
Babe, can I build my home in your mind?
G C Em
A disheveled maze constellated and intertwined

[Chorus]
C Em
But somehow, it’s my favorite kind
C
And my favorite view
G
When it untangles in the moonlight

[Verse 3]

G C Em
Darlin’, we’re getting older
G C Em
In less than 8 months you’ll wash tear stains off of your shoulder

C
And drenched in alcohol and conceit
C
The cold-blooded bodies quick on their feet
Em
Will tell you how to earn your stripes

[Chorus]
C
And you’ll be listening while
C
I sit here with glistening eyes
C
As the stripes on my back chip and dry
C D
You won’t be listening to my cries

Anymore

G C Em
Woooooh~ woooooh~

[Bridge]
D C
And we’ll be two pieces of driftwood
D C
Floating in a sea of missed calls and excuses
D
And your home will change into
C
Four walls and a mini fridge
D C
Instead of four limbs and lips to kiss

[Chorus]
C G Em D
But for now, the night is young
D D
And you are here and snow patrol just came on the radio
C G C
So darling, let’s take
C G C D
Darling, let’s take the long way home

G C Em
Woooh, Oooh
G C Em
Ooooh, Oooh
G C Em
Love, keep your eyes on the road
