[Verse 1]
Listen to meEm  
I know I Gnever got much relief
I Emlimped when I walked, S-s-stuttered to talk
and the Gachin' was just part of me
listen to meEm  
I know aGll about agony
when you Emsay that it hurts more than anybody sees
with a Gheart colder than
the Dheart off-beat
[Pre-Chorus 1]
'cause you Emmarried a man who Clied to you love
But it Gwasn't like that when he Dfirst picked you up.
When he Emdrove you around and he Cbought you some flowers
Until Gsomething had changed and the Dtemperature soured
[Chorus 1]
But EmI'm alCright
Baby GI don't Dmind
I'll get Emon just Cfine
On them Glong long DdrivesD  
Call it a lieEm  
[Verse 2]
       EmWell whatGever brings you back to life
We could Emturn it around we can drive it straight home
If you Gwanna be alone for the night
Whatever song you Emlike
From The GSouls to Mack the Knife
we could Emturn it up loud, we can put the pedal down
With the Grain beading up my Dlove
[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause you Emache for a drug that'll Cnever be enough
You're Gnever gonna feel like when he Dfirst picked you up
when he Emdrove you around, bought you Cpowder and flowers
Guntil the thrill was Dgone
[Chorus 2]
but you said EmI'm alCright
baby GI don't Dmind
I'll get Emon just Cfine
on them Glong long DdrivesD  
[Bridge]
    Emlast nighCt I reGmembered being D17
EmI met a girl with a Ctaste for the world and Gwhiskey and rites of Dspring
Emspent every night with casCsettes that she liked
in a Gcar that I borrowed a Dlot
and I could Emnever get her to beClieveG  D  D  
[Verse 3]
'Cause we Emtasted a kiss that was Csent from below
it was Gcool in the night I was Dold as a stone
in the Emback of the car with a chiCld at heart
who sGuddenly showed you their Dteeth
[Chorus]
but you said EmI'm alCright
Jamie, GI don't Dmind
I'll get Emon just Cfine
On them Glong long Ddrives withEmout youC  G  D  
drives withEmout youC  G  D  
[Outro]
And I still Emsee him sometimes and he Cdoesn't look right
you Gleft me for him then you leDft him for spite
I Emhope you never pay that CpriceG  
WherDever you are toGnight

[Verse 1]

Listen to me

I know I never got much relief

I limped when I walked, S-s-stuttered to talk

and the achin' was just part of me

listen to me

I know all about agony

when you say that it hurts more than anybody sees

with a heart colder than

the heart off-beat

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Em C

'cause you married a man who lied to you love

G D

But it wasn't like that when he first picked you up.

Em C

When he drove you around and he bought you some flowers

G D

Until something had changed and the temperature soured

[Chorus 1]

Em C

But I'm alright

G D

Baby I don't mind

Em C

I'll get on just fine

G D D

On them long long drives

Call it a lie

[Verse 2]

Em G

Well whatever brings you back to life

We could turn it around we can drive it straight home

If you wanna be alone for the night

Whatever song you like

From The Souls to Mack the Knife

we could turn it up loud, we can put the pedal down

G D

With the rain beading up my love

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Em C

'Cause you ache for a drug that'll never be enough

G D

You're never gonna feel like when he first picked you up

Em C

when he drove you around, bought you powder and flowers

G D

until the thrill was gone

[Chorus 2]

Em C

but you said I'm alright

G D

baby I don't mind

Em C

I'll get on just fine

G D D

on them long long drives

[Bridge]

Em C G D

last night I remembered being 17

Em C G D

I met a girl with a taste for the world and whiskey and rites of spring

Em C

spent every night with cassettes that she liked

G D

in a car that I borrowed a lot

Em C G D D

and I could never get her to believe

[Verse 3]

Em C

'Cause we tasted a kiss that was sent from below

G D

it was cool in the night I was old as a stone

Em C

in the back of the car with a child at heart

G D

who suddenly showed you their teeth

[Chorus]

Em C

but you said I'm alright

G D

Jamie, I don't mind

Em C

I'll get on just fine

G D Em C G D

On them long long drives without you

Em C G D

drives without you

[Outro]

Em C

And I still see him sometimes and he doesn't look right

G D

you left me for him then you left him for spite

Em C G

I hope you never pay that price

D G

Wherever you are tonight
