Emon the asphalt underneath, our Amcrushed plans and my lies

[Chorus]
Bmand we keep Adriving Aminto the G6night

Bmand we keep dAriving Aminto the G6night
it's Ama late goodDbye... Em  
[Verse 2]
Emyour breath hot upon my cheek, and we Amcrossed, that line
Emyou made me strong when I was feeling weak, and Amwe crossed, that one time
Bmscreaming stop signs, Amstaring wild eyes, keep on Emflashing, flashing by

Emthe devil grins from Aear to ear when he Amsees the hand he'G6s dealt us
Bmpoints at your flamAing hair, and then we're Amplaying hide anG6d seek
BmI can't breathe Aeasy here, less our Amtrail's gone cold beG6hind us
Bmtill' in the Ajohn mirror you stare at youAmrself grown old anG6d weak
Bmand we keep drivAing iAmnto the G6night 
it's a lAmate goodDbye, such a Emlate goodbye. 
Bmand we keep drivAing iAmnto the G6night 
it's a lAmate goodDbye, such a Emlate goodbye.
This shouldn't be too hard to play, even if you feel yourself little more social than usual ;)

in our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deer's eyes

on the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans and my lies

lonely street signs, powerlines, they keep on flashing, (flashing by)

and we keep driving into the night

your breath hot upon my cheek, and we crossed, that line

screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by

the devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he's dealt us

I can't breathe easy here, less our trail's gone cold behind us

till' in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak
