  			verse 1:  


G  
  Long drive, long night. The best night of my life.   
                                         
                                      Em  
With you, riding. Your hand on my hand.  
                                                  
                   C                            G  
The thought of arriving kind of feels like dying.   


I don't want to go home and be alone.  


Could we stay out, could you  


               Em  
Drive a little slower, don't matter where we're going.  

                    C                             G  
As long as I'm with you. We can take the long way.   


verse 2:  

G  
 Chevy Nova, front seat sofa.  


Getting closer to you.  

               Em  
Drive a little slower, don't matter where we're going.  

                    C                             G  
As long as I'm with you. We can take the long way.   




 
               Em  
Drive a little slower, not ready to go home,  

           C  
I'd rather stay with you.  

                     G   G*  
We can take the long way out.  

       Em  
To the country, out of town.  

          C  
Let's get lost, I don't wanna be found.  

           G   G*  
Let's get away now.  

       Em  
And be careful not to crash.  

           C  
There's no defrost and we're steaming the glass.  

                       Am7  
You and the road have a generous shoulder.  

               D                              Em  
We can pull over and say we took the long way.  


Bridge:  

C D Em  
      Head lights, strobe lights.  

      C  
I can see you, but not quite.  

      D  
I can feel you inside.  

    Em  
The timing is just right.  

    C                          D  
The moment, I don't want to go home.
