FFalling asCmaj7leep, dream sweet Amin the passenger seatG

I Amknow a place where there's nothing to sGee
So Fwe can just talk 'bout what Cmaj7we want to be
Work it Amout, we can work it oGut, ayeF  
But Cmaj7time's not a thing
So Amroll down the windows and we can just siGngF

It's nCmaj7ot really true
But right Amnow it is when I'm right here witGh youF  
We Cmaj7both look a mess but we couldn't Amcare less
'Bout the way that we dGressF  
Cmaj7Late to the partyAm  
I hope we offend Gsomebody
F Cmaj7 Am G
[Chorus]
FAnd you dCmaj7idn't even wanna die once tAmhis weekG  
FAnd wCmaj7hen you're around I fAmeel less of a freakG  
FAnd Cmaj7when you smile for real, Amyou make me smile for Greal

Cmaj7

[Verse 1]

F Cmaj7 Am G

Falling asleep, dream sweet in the passenger seat

F Cmaj7

I am if you are, so we could get something to eat

Am G

I know a place where there's nothing to see

F Cmaj7

So we can just talk 'bout what we want to be

Am G F

Work it out, we can work it out, aye

Cmaj7

But time's not a thing

Am G F

So roll down the windows and we can just sing

Cmaj7 Am G F

Like la la la, not a worry in the world and blah blah blah (blah)

Cmaj7

It's not really true

Am G F

But right now it is when I'm right here with you

Cmaj7 Am

We both look a mess but we couldn't care less

G F

'Bout the way that we dress

Cmaj7 Am

Late to the party

I hope we offend somebody

F Cmaj7 Am G

[Chorus]

F Cmaj7 Am G

And you didn't even wanna die once this week

F Cmaj7 Am G

And when you're around I feel less of a freak

F Cmaj7 Am G

And when you smile for real, you make me smile for real

F Cmaj7

Don't care if it's night or it's day

Am G

Let's get some coffee so we stay awake

F Cmaj7 Am G

And when you smile for real you make me smile for real

F Cmaj7 Am G

And when you smile for real you make me smile for real

F Cmaj7 Am G

And when you smile for real you make me smile for real

How 'bout you take a seat with me

F Cmaj7 Am G

F Cmaj7

You're worrying me

Am G

And you shouldn't say sorry to me

F Cmaj7 Am G

F Cmaj7

So something has changed since they got in the way

Am G

I just shouldn't say what I'm wanting to say

F Cmaj7

Your makeup's running like you've run in the rain

Am G

And it's not the best way to be ending a day

F Cmaj7

Nothing to say, disregard what we say

Am G F

Now I'm lost and alone in this big white house on a hill

Cmaj7

Some rude boy calls your name

Am G

I don't remember why we came

F Cmaj7 Am G

[Refrain]

F Cmaj7 Am G

'Cause you didn't even wanna die once this week

F Cmaj7 Am G

And when you're around I feel less of a freak

You're tryna find your heels, your smiling isn't real

F Cmaj7 Am G

Falling asleep, dream sweet in the passenger seat

F Cmaj7 Am G

Falling asleep, dream sweet in the passenger seat

[Chorus]

F Cmaj7 Am G

And you didn't even wanna die once this week

F Cmaj7 Am G

And when you're around I feel less of a freak

F Cmaj7 Am G

And when you smile for real, you make me smile for real

F Cmaj7

Don't care if it's night or it's day

Am G

Let's get some coffee so we stay awake

F Cmaj7 Am G

And when you smile for real you make me smile for real
