[Verse 1]
G
Dear
        C           Em
Do you hear what I hear?
       G         C            Em
The crackle, of fear in the atmosphere
  G      C      Em
Mmmmm...mmm...mmmmm
 
G
Love
           C           Em
Keep your eyes on the road
 G                                            C          Em
‘Cause when I stare all I see is two foggy windows to a lost soul
 
[Chorus]
     C                         Em
And maybe, maybe it’s all my fault
               C
That it’s so quiet
                   G
On the drive home
 
[Verse 2]
  G           C               Em
Babe, can I build my home in your mind?
    G                                C     Em
A disheveled maze constellated and intertwined
 
[Chorus]
      C                        Em
But somehow, it’s my favorite kind
                 C
And my favorite view
                                   G
When it untangles in the moonlight
 
[Verse 3]
 
G                 C      Em
Darlin’, we’re getting older
G                                                  C       Em
In less than 8 months you’ll wash tear stains off of your shoulder
 
C
And drenched in alcohol and conceit
C
The cold-blooded bodies quick on their feet
      Em
Will tell you how to earn your stripes
 
[Chorus]
                C
And you’ll be listening while
   C
I sit here with glistening eyes
    C
As the stripes on my back chip and dry
     C                              D
You won’t be listening to my cries
 
Anymore
 
G  C     Em
Woooooh~ woooooh~
 
[Bridge]
      D                      C
And we’ll be two pieces of driftwood
    D                                    C
Floating in a sea of missed calls and excuses
           D
And your home will change into
                  C
Four walls and a mini fridge
   D                       C
Instead of four limbs and lips to kiss
 
[Chorus]
C    G   Em                 D
But for now, the night is young
              D              D
And you are here and snow patrol just came on the radio
    C   G    C
So darling, let’s take
 C   G    C             D
Darling, let’s take the long way home
 
G     C Em
Woooh, Oooh
G     C Em
Ooooh, Oooh
G              C            Em
Love, keep your eyes on the road
