Hey, I first heard this song on Cougar Town and LOVED it. Heard it tonight through Shazam and realised
there wasn't a full tab with all the lyrics. Apologies for any mistakes, please comment in you find any
(also is my first tab!)
Standard tuning, no capo.
The original sounds like it's on a ukelele and, in my opinion, sounds better with bar chords
but can be played as open:
D: 557775
A: 577655
Bm7: 797777
G: 355433
N.B. The last D chord sounds best if you play it (10,12,12,11,10,10).
[Verse]
D A Bm7
I stole a car last night.
A D G
Don't know where we're gonna go
D A Bm7
But go ahead and drive,
G A D
I will take you home
[Pre-Chorus]
D A Bm7
Honey it's cold outside
A D G
And your jumper's torn
D A Bm7
But darling hold on tight
G A D
I will keep you warm
[Chorus]
G D A
We will cry till this fire is drowned
G D A
And we will write all our memories down.
G D A
We will drive till these tyres wear out,
Bm7 A G A D
But darling I will take you home.

If we could drive all night
A D G
Until the sun has shone.

I see it in your eyes, yeah
G A D
They will take me home
[Pre-Chorus]
D A Bm7
Honey it's old and bright
A D G
Daylight's taking over again
D A Bm7
Just follow the signs, ooh
G A D
They will lead us home.
[Chorus]
G D A
We will cry till this fire is drowned
G D A
And we will write all our memories down.
G D A
We will drive till these tyres wear out,
Bm7 A G A D
But darling I will take you home.
[Chorus]
G D A
We will drive till these tyres wear out,
G D A
And we will write all our memories down.
G D A
We will cry till this fire is drowned.
[Outro]
