Intro: Dbm A B


Dbm B       Dbm B   A    E B
   Take me out tonight
              Dbm                B
where there's music and there's people
        Dbm        B A  E B
who are young and alive


Dbm      B       Dbm  B
Driving in your car
  A                      E
I never never want to go home
B                 Dbm      B Dbm B
because I haven't got one
   A    E B
anymore


Dbm B       Dbm B   A    E B
   Take me out tonight
          Dbm          B
because I want to see people and I
Dbm          B      A E B
want to see lights


Dbm      B       Dbm  B
Driving in your car
   A                    E
oh please don't drop me home
B                Dbm            B
because it's not my home, it's their
              Dbm         B     A E B
home, and I'm welcome no more

Chorus:
  Abm A
  B        E             Dbm
  And if a double-decker bus
  A               B
  crashes into us
            E
  to die by your side
         A               B
  such a heavenly way to die

           E         Dbm
  And if a ten ton truck
  A                    B
  kills the both of us
            E
  to die by your side
      A                         B
  the pleasure the privilege is mine


Dbm B       Dbm B   A    E B
   Take me out tonight
           Dbm                B    Dbm B A E B
oh take me anywhere, I don't care


           Dbm       B    Dbm
And in the darkened underpass
  B          A                               E B
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
            Dbm           B
- but then a strange fear gripped me and I
Dbm            B    A E B
just couldn't ask -


Dbm B       Dbm B   A    E B
   Take me out tonight
        Dbm                B    Dbm B A E B
take me anywhere, I don't care


     Dbm      B       Dbm  B
Just driving in your car
  A                      E
I never never want to go home
B                 Dbm      B Dbm B
because I haven't got one
          A       E B
I haven't got one

Chorus:
  Abm A
  B        E             Dbm
  And if a double-decker bus
  A               B
  crashes into us
            E
  to die by your side
         A               B
  such a heavenly way to die

           E         Dbm
  And if a ten ton truck
  A                    B
  kills the both of us
            E
  to die by your side
      A                         B
  the pleasure the privilege is mine


Dbm         B            Dbm         B
There is a light and it never goes out
A                       E          B
There is a light and it never goes out
