Passenger Seat
Arkells 
Morning Report (2016)
Not that it really changes anything, but I find it might sound a little more like the original recording if
you transpose it down 2 and put the capo on 2. It's the same chords, but the particular pitch changes sound a 
little more accurate.
[Intro]
Em C Bm
[Verse 1]
We called it a Emparty
Even Cthough everybody was Bmsad
You showed up with some Emcoffee
Stated Cmoving at seven Bmam
You were having trouble sEmleeping
I was having Ctrouble keeping stiBmll
When we talk it's like a Emmeeting
Full of bCudgets and utility biBmlls
[Chorus]
Driving on the Emhighway home
  GThis time alone
Doesn't Dmean the same without Cyou
I turned on the rEmadio Gto something slow
Just to Dlet it fuck with my Cmood
And songs don't sEmound the sGame
Without Dyou in the passenger CseatC  Bm  
Without Dyou
In the passenger seatEm  C  Bm  Em  C  Bm  
[Verse 2]
We made a deal when we sEmtarted
And we Cknew it would take some Bmwork
Every day was like a paEmrty
And living Clife with no conBmcern
I remember the fEmeeling
Of Cdriving to my parents' Bmplace
I'd lean on in to kEmiss you
See the gCap toothed smile on your Bmface
[Chorus]
Driving on the Emhighway home
  GThis time alone
Doesn't Dmean the same without Cyou
I turned on the rEmadio Gto something slow
Just to Dlet it fuck with my Cmood
And songs don't sEmound the sGame
Without Dyou in the passenger CseatC  Bm  
Without Dyou
[Bridge]
AmYou and I always laughed at the system
GNo, we wouldn't be just another statistic
CWe said those things all those Gyears ago
AmI read some things I shouldn't have seen
GAnd you look like you've given up trying
You Cthink I don't care when you walk in the room
DKatie just tell me, now what can I do?
[Chorus]
Driving on the Emhighway home
   GThis time alone
Doesn't Dmean the same without Cyou
I turned on the Emradio Gto something slow
Just to lDet it fuck with my mCood
When the road sEmtarts to bend
GAnd the signal ends
And only Dstatic's coming throughC  
I think about the Emthings you said
GThey all go in my head
I'm aloDne because I know it's trCue
And songs don't sEmound the saGme
Without yDou in the passenger CseatC  Bm  
Without yDou
In the passenger seatEm  C  Bm  Em  C  Bm

Passenger Seat

Morning Report (2016)

Not that it really changes anything, but I find it might sound a little more like the original recording if

you transpose it down 2 and put the capo on 2. It's the same chords, but the particular pitch changes sound a

little more accurate.

[Intro]

Em C Bm

[Verse 1]

We called it a party

C Bm

Even though everybody was sad

You showed up with some coffee

C Bm

Stated moving at seven am

You were having trouble sleeping

C Bm

I was having trouble keeping still

When we talk it's like a meeting

C Bm

Full of budgets and utility bills

[Chorus]

Driving on the highway home

This time alone

D C

Doesn't mean the same without you

Em G

I turned on the radio to something slow

D C

Just to let it fuck with my mood

Em G

And songs don't sound the same

D C C Bm

Without you in the passenger seat

Without you

Em C Bm Em C Bm

In the passenger seat

[Verse 2]

We made a deal when we started

C Bm

And we knew it would take some work

Every day was like a party

C Bm

And living life with no concern

I remember the feeling

C Bm

Of driving to my parents' place

I'd lean on in to kiss you

C Bm

See the gap toothed smile on your face

[Chorus]

Driving on the highway home

This time alone

D C

Doesn't mean the same without you

Em G

I turned on the radio to something slow

D C

Just to let it fuck with my mood

Em G

And songs don't sound the same

D C C Bm

Without you in the passenger seat

Without you

[Bridge]

You and I always laughed at the system

No, we wouldn't be just another statistic

C G

We said those things all those years ago

I read some things I shouldn't have seen

And you look like you've given up trying

You think I don't care when you walk in the room

Katie just tell me, now what can I do?

[Chorus]

Driving on the highway home

This time alone

D C

Doesn't mean the same without you

Em G

I turned on the radio to something slow

D C

Just to let it fuck with my mood

When the road starts to bend

And the signal ends

I think about the things you said

They all go in my head

I'm alone because I know it's true

And songs don't sound the same

Without you in the passenger seat

Without you
