[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
EmWe were strangers Gside by side
AmMy car was big and I knew he needed a ride
EmA man of two truths Gtrained to shout
CSo I fell in love with him Amon both sides of his mouth
And I said
EmAmen, Gamen, Camen, Amamen
[Chorus]
CSomething told me not to Amrun
AmSaid I'd be the one, I'd be the one, DI'd be the one
CI'd be the onAme to drive him hoEmme
[Verse 2]
He feared he'd Gfall
Didn't knowC  
AmSaid I was everything that he'd been dreaming of
EmHe crawled inside mGe to my core
CAnd pointed north to stars AmI'd never seen before
And I said
EmAmen, Gamen, aCmen, Amamen
[Chorus]
CSomething told me not to Amrun
AmSaid I'd be the one, I'd be the one, DI'd be the one
CTo touch him like he was my Amown
AmAnd I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home, DI'd drive him home
CI'd be the one to dAmrive him
[Verse 3]
CI don't want to have him Amjust to hold
EmI want a ring of fire, Dhe's got a ring of gold
CBut he don't want to have me Amjust to hold
EmHe wants a ring of fire, DI want his word of golCd
[Bridge]
And I won't minAmd laying with fire
CWhen we're running uAmp and up we can unfoldEm  
G    Am
EmI would ride with him Gall life long
CI wouldn't share him for a Amstory or a song
EmHis eyes pled, "don't leave"
GBut I knew best
AmEven though it burns like Ambattery acid in my chest
[Chorus]
CSomething told mAme I should run
EmSaid I'd be the one, I'd be the one, DI'd be the one
CTo love him more than Ammy need to own
EmAnd I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home, DI'd drive him home
CI won't be raining like a Amstone
EmNo they won't know I drove him home, DI drove him home
CBut if someday my bird is Amflown
EmIf my light's still on, mDy window's drawn and I'm aClone
[Outro]
CI'll be thAme one
CI'll be thAme one
CI'll be thAme one
CTo drive hAmim home

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Em G

We were strangers side by side

My car was big and I knew he needed a ride

Em G

A man of two truths trained to shout

C Am

So I fell in love with him on both sides of his mouth

And I said

Em G C Am

Amen, amen, amen, amen

[Chorus]

C Am

Something told me not to run

Am D

Said I'd be the one, I'd be the one, I'd be the one

C Am Em

I'd be the one to drive him home

[Verse 2]

He feared he'd fall

Didn't know

Said I was everything that he'd been dreaming of

Em G

He crawled inside me to my core

C Am

And pointed north to stars I'd never seen before

And I said

Em G C Am

Amen, amen, amen, amen

[Chorus]

C Am

Something told me not to run

Am D

Said I'd be the one, I'd be the one, I'd be the one

C Am

To touch him like he was my own

Am D

And I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home

C Am

I'd be the one to drive him

[Verse 3]

C Am

I don't want to have him just to hold

Em D

I want a ring of fire, he's got a ring of gold

C Am

But he don't want to have me just to hold

Em D C

He wants a ring of fire, I want his word of gold

[Bridge]

And I won't mind laying with fire

C Am Em

When we're running up and up we can unfold

G Am

Em G

I would ride with him all life long

C Am

I wouldn't share him for a story or a song

His eyes pled, "don't leave"

But I knew best

Am Am

Even though it burns like battery acid in my chest

[Chorus]

C Am

Something told me I should run

Em D

Said I'd be the one, I'd be the one, I'd be the one

C Am

To love him more than my need to own

Em D

And I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home

C Am

I won't be raining like a stone

Em D

No they won't know I drove him home, I drove him home

C Am

But if someday my bird is flown

Em D C

If my light's still on, my window's drawn and I'm alone

[Outro]

C Am

I'll be the one

C Am

I'll be the one

C Am

I'll be the one

C Am

To drive him home
