Drive Darling

Em
You close the door and start the motor
C
I roll the window down
Em
I raise my hand and wave goodbye
C
To neighborhood queens and clowns and


Em
Children in the front yards
C
They hide and seek and laugh
Em
I can almost hear you thinking
C
How could these days go by so fast


        G
And the rear view could picture
D             Em         C
What we leave behind
G
Drive darling, drive darling,
D                    Em             C
Drive darling, drive darling, drive


Em
A silent conversation
C
No words cause there's no need
Em
We let the tapes mix up the years
C
And press repeat and press repeat


Em                       C
The trunk is filled with records
    Em                   C
And books and tears and clothes
     Em              C
I'm smiling on the surface
     Em             C
I'm scared as hell below


        G
And the rear view could picture
D               Em     C
What we leave behind
G
Drive darling, drive darling,
D                       Em         C
Drive darling, drive darling, drive


      G
Good morning freedom
D              Em      C
Good night lullabies
G
Drive darling, drive darling,
D                       Em          C
Drive darling, drive darling, drive


Am               C
  And when we arrive
                Am
The hardest of goodbyes
                  D
You will dry my eyes
    Em                      C
Somehow you're always by my side
                      D
The one who holds my kite
                          C
And watches over all my flights


G
Drive darling, drive darling,
D                       Em         C
Drive darling, drive darling, drive


G
Good morning freedom
D                 Em     C
Good night lullabies
G
Drive darling, drive darling,
D                       Em         C
Drive darling, drive darling, drive


G
Drive darling, drive darling,
D                       Em         C
Drive darling, drive darling, drive
