Intro:
   Dm
   Am Dm
   Am Dm

Verse 1:
        Am                       Dm
On a desert road with no way home
        Am                       Dm
I was lost and alone now, baby
        Am                       Dm
I was feeling adrift behind the window tint
        Am                       Dm
When the pouring rain couldn't save me
       Gm               F7          Gm
Oh, I think I'm gonna change my life
        F                           Gm
I feel like it could take all night
        F                           Gm                             A7
I'll follow, you over the edge of my love, edge of my love

Chorus:
Bb
No, don't let me go
F                A7                      Dm
   It gets so cold when I get back home
Dm              Bb
I need your love, go under the sun
F                  A                 A7                Dm
       Your arms around me when my working day is done

Verse 2:
Dm
On a sunny day, I was so deranged
        Am                       Dm
Tried to turn the page on the story
        Am                       Dm
Like I had a clue, what she wanted to do
        Am                       Dm
When I got to the end, I was crazy
Gm         F7                           Gm
Oh, I was holdin' up to hide your mood
      F7                            Gm
The stars are shinin' newer than new
F                    Gm                  A
All of the angels in heaven are waitin' for you

Chorus:
Bb
No, don't let me go
F                A7                      Dm
    It gets so cold when I get back home
                 Bb                      F
I need your love, go under the sun
                       A
Your arms around me
         Bb                       F
I'm beggin' you, no, don't let me go
                    A7                              Dm
It gets so cold when I get back home
                     Bb                              F
I need your love, go under the sun
                                 A                                           Dm
Your arms around me when my working day is

Biography

The Black Keys are an alternative rock group from Akron, Ohio, United States which formed in 2001, consisting of singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney. The band name was inspired by a schizophrenic artist and friend in Akron, who used the term "black keys" to describe things he disliked or people he did not trust. The Black Keys have roots in traditional blues and psychedelic rock stylings. They released their first album, The Big Come Up, in 2002, followed by Thickfreakness in 2003, and Rubber Factory in 2004.
