Intro
Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9
Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
Cadd9
Aall the other girls here are stars you are the Northern Lights
Gmaj Cadd9
Gmaj Cadd9
They try to shine in through your curtains you're too close and too bright
Gmaj Em7
They try and they try but everything that they do
Am C Gmaj
is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you
Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9
I'll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
Gmaj Cadd9
Gmaj Cadd9
This party is made with the night air and the chance that a smile
Gmaj Cadd9
Cadd9
will wind its way from your face to one of the boys in your line
Gmaj Em7
You act like you're hip to their tricks and you're strong
Am C Gmaj
but a virgin Wurlitzer heart never once had a song
Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9
I'll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
Gmaj D
And I'll have you back by break of day
Cadd9
I'm going your way anyway
Gmaj
And if you'd like to come along
D
I'll be yours for a song
Interlude: Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9
Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj
Cadd9
I know you are waiting and I know that it is not for me
Gmaj Cadd9
Gmaj Cadd9
but I'm here and I'm ready and I've saved you the passenger seat
Gmaj Em7
I won't be your last dance just your last goodnight
Am C
Gmaj
every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied
Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd 9
I'll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
Gmaj Cadd9 Repeat 4 times
Gmaj Cadd9
Cadd9
so crawl up your trellis and quietly back into your room
Gmaj Cadd9
Gmaj Cadd9
and I'll coast down the length of your drive by the light of the moon
Gmaj Em7
and the next time I see you a new kind of hello
Am C
both our hearts have a secret only both of us know
Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9
bout the night that I drove you back home Kathleen
Repeat Gmaj Cadd9
Josh.
