G G C D
G G C D [Verse]
G C D I built a room for you in the back of my mind
G C D Where the ravenous wolves and the ghosts I know reside
G C D You were amazing, you were always on my mind
G C D We were secrets to keep, crows buried side-by-side
Em C But we tasted a kiss that was sent from below
G D It was cool in the night, I was old as a stone
Em C In the back of a car with a child at heart
G D Who suddenly showed you their teeth [Chorus]
Em C But you say, "I’m alright
G D Baby, I don’t mind
Em C I’ll get on just fine
G D D On them long, long drives"

[Verse]
G C D I keep a letter you wrote before the devil came in the picture
G C D Says, "I've got you now, wrapped around my finger"
G C D And into the mystic, we were blue and outrageous
G C D And every night, I would race the Moon and fall for you
Em C Cause you ache for a drug a that'll never be enough
G D You're never gonna feel like when he first picked you up
Em C When he drove you around, bought you powder and flowers
G D Until the thrill was gone [Chorus]
Em C But you said, "I’m alright
G D Baby, I don’t mind
Em C I’ll get on just fine
G D On them long, long drives" [Bridge]
Em C G D Last night I remembered being seventeen
Em C G D I met a girl with a taste for the world and whiskey and rites of spring
Em C Spent every night with cassettes that she liked
G D In a car that I borrowed a lot
Em C G D And I could never get her to believe [Chorus]
Em C But you said, "I’m alright
G D Baby, I don’t mind
Em C I’ll get on just fine
G D On them long, long drives"
Em C Because I'm alright
G D Janie, I don't mind
Em C I'll get on just fine
G D Em C On them long, long drives without you
G D Without you
Em C Without you
G D Drives without you
