[Intro]
A Asus2 Asus4/B
A Asus2 Asus4/B

[Verse 1]
A                Asus2       Asus4/B                       A  Asus2  Asus4/B
All the other girls here are stars—you are the Northern Lights
     A            Asus2           Asus4/B                           A      Asus2   Asus4/B
They try to shine in through your curtains—you’re too close and too bright
     A                         F#m
They try and they try but everything that they do
       D                                       A
is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you

[Chorus]
            Asus2  Asus4/B                 A     Asus2 Asus4/B
I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
      A       Asus2          Asus4/B                          A     Asus2 Asus4/B
This party was made with the night air and the chance that a smile
      A      Asus2          Asus4/B                          A     Asus2 Asus4/B
will wind its way from your face to one of the boys in your line
           A                            F#m
Well, you act like you’re hip to their tricks and you’re strong
       D                                       A
but a virgin Wurlitzer heart never once had a song
            Asus2  Asus4/B                 A     Asus2 Asus4/B
I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen

[Post-Chorus]
Amaj7                                  E
   and I’ll have you back by break of day
                         F#m
   I’m going your way anyway
                              D
   and if you’d like to come along
                       E7
   I’ll be yours for a song, ooh-hoo ooh ooh-huh

A Asus2 Asus4/B
A Asus2 Asus4/B

[Verse 2]
         A            Asus2        Asus4/B                 A     Asus2 Asus4/B
Well, I know you are waiting and I know that it is not for me
        A            Asus2           Asus4/B                 A     Asus2 Asus4/B
but I’m here and I’m ready and I’ve saved you the passenger seat
       A                             F#m   
And I won’t be your last dance just your last goodnight
       D                         D                          A
every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied
            Asus2  Asus4/B                 A     Asus2 Asus4/B
I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen                yeah

[Verse 3]
A             Asus2       Asus4/B                 A     Asus2 Asus4/B
Crawl up your trellis and quietly back into your room
          A              Asus2         Asus4/B                        A     Asus2 Asus4/B
and I’ll coast down the length of your drive by the light of the moon
         A                        F#m
and the next time we meet's a new kind of hello
           D                        D
both our hearts have a secret only both of us know
           A       Asus2 Asus4/B                  A     Asus2 Asus4/B
‘bout the night that I   drove you back home Kathleen

[Outro]
                 A     Asus2 Asus4/B
I drove you home
                 A     Asus2 Asus4/B
I drove you home
                 A     Asus2 Asus4/B
I drove you home
            A     Asus2 Asus4/B
la-da-di-da
            A     Asus2 Asus4/B
la-da-di-da
            A     Asus2 Asus4/B
la-da-di-da
            A     Asus2 Asus4/B
la-da-di-da
