F#I was never ouC#t to save the G#world
I just want to get to know you
F#We could disaC#ppear just say the woG#rd
F#And if you have the timC#e maybe we can taG#lk
Wait up for the sunrise
F#Watch the city buC#rn from the roofG#tops
Cross our hearts and hope to die
F#One day we're gonna C#leave this all behG#ind
Driving down the coast at ninety-nine
F#We were searching for a C#place we could never G#find
But when the F#sun comes up at G#dawn
Take me hoFmmeA#m  
And when the F#moment's come and G#gone

F#Cause we could die tC#onight and you would never G#know
If I don't say this now

Driving down the coast at ninety-nine

F# C# G#

I was never out to save the world

I just want to get to know you

F# C# G#

We could disappear just say the word

F# C# G#

And if you have the time maybe we can talk

Wait up for the sunrise

F# C# G#

Watch the city burn from the rooftops

Cross our hearts and hope to die

F# C# G#

One day we're gonna leave this all behind

Driving down the coast at ninety-nine

F# C# G#

We were searching for a place we could never find

F# G#

But when the sun comes up at dawn

Fm A#m

Take me home

F# G#

And when the moment's come and gone

Fm A#m

Take me home

F# C# G#

I was never trying to be a hero

I just wanted you to turn around

F# C# G#

Cause we could die tonight and you would never know

If I don't say this now

F# C# G#

Cause we were gonna leave this all behind

Driving down the coast at ninety-nine

F# C# G#

We were so close, I could taste it

But some promises are made for breaking

F# G#

But when the sun comes up at dawn

Fm A#m

Take me home

F# G#

And when the moment's come and gone

Take me home

And our time is counting down

All we have is here and now

We're counting down

We can live tonight just say the word

Take me home
