E               B
Stickshifts and safetybelts
A                 E
bucket-seats have all got to go.
E                  B
When we're driving in the car,
A                E
it makes my baby seem so far.
 
[Chorus]
E          A
I need you here with me 
E                 B
not way over in a bucket-seat.

I need you to be here with me and
E                 B      E
not way over in a bucket-seat.

But when we’re driving in my Malibu,
     A           E
it's easy to get right next to you
E                  B
I say "Baby, scoot over please"
    A                      E
and then she's right there next to me

not way over in a bucket-seat.
E                A
I need you to be here with me and

not way over in a bucket-seat
