Capo 2.
Cm
You close the door and start the motor
G#
I roll the window down
Cm
I raise my hand and wave goodbye
G#
To neighborhood queens and clowns and
Cm
Children in the front yards
G#
They hide and seek and laugh
Cm
I can almost hear you thinking
G#
How could these days go by so fast
D#
And the rear view could picture
A# Cm G#
What we leave behind
D#
Drive darling, drive darling,
A# Cm G#
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
Cm
F silent conversation
G#
No words cause there's no need
Cm
We let the tapes mix up the years
G#
And press repeat and press repeat
Cm G#
The trunk is filled with records
Cm G#
And books and tears and clothes
Cm G#
I'm smiling on the surface
Cm G#
I'm scared as hell below
D#
And the rear view could picture
A# Cm G#
What we leave behind
D#
Drive darling, drive darling,
A# Cm G#
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
D#
Good morning freedom
A# Cm G#
Good night lullabies
D#
Drive darling, drive darling,
A# Cm G#
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
Fm G#
And when we arrive
Fm
The hardest of goodbyes
A#
You will dry my eyes
Cm G#
Somehow you're always by my side
A#
The one who holds my kite
G#
And watches over all my flights
D#
Drive darling, drive darling,
A# Cm G#
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
D#
Good morning freedom
A# Cm G#
Good night lullabies
D#
Drive darling, drive darling,
A# Cm G#
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
D#
Drive darling, drive darling,
A# Cm G#
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
