G G C D

I built a, room for you, in the back of my mind

G G C D

Where the, ravenous wolves, and the ghosts I know reside

You were amazing, you were always on my mind

G G C D

We were, secrets to keep, Crows buried side by side

[Pre-Chorus]

But we tasted a kiss that was sent from below

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

In the back of a car where they try on your heart

And suddenly show you their teeth

[Chorus]

But you say, "I’m alright

Baby, I don’t mind

I’ll get on just fine

G D

On them long, long drives"

[Verse]

G G C D

I keep a, letter you wrote, before the devil came in the picture

G G C D

It says "I've, got you now, wrapped around my finger"

And into the mystic...

C D

We were blue and outrageous

G G C D

And, every night, I would race the moon to fall for you

[Pre-Chorus]

G Am

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

Em C

and never gonna feel like when it first picked you up

G C

When they drove you around bought you powder and flowers

Until the thrill was gone

[Chorus]

And you say, "I’m alright

Baby, I don’t mind

I’ll get on just fine

On them long, long drives"
