[Intro] Dm  F  G 

Am  G        Am  G  F/C    C   G   
   Take me out  tonight
      Am                  G       Am                      G              
Where there's music and there's people who are young and alive
F/C  C  G
Am      G      Am  G    F/C                     C    G
Driving in your car, I never never want to go home
                  Am   G  Am  G  F/C    C   G  
Because I haven't got one,      anymore

Am  G        Am  G  F/C    C   G   
   Take me out tonight

     Am              G               Am       G            
Because I want to see people and I want to see lights
F/C   C   G
Am      G       Am  G      F/C                C      G
Driving in your car, oh please don't drop me home
                 Am            G                   Am         G
Because it's not my home, it's their home, and I'm welcome no more
F/C    C   G

( Dm  F  G )
        
         C              Am   F/C
And if a double-decker bus, crashes into us
G             C                  F/C               Dm
  To die by your side, is such a heavenly way to die
          C        Am   F/C
And if a ten ton truck, kills the both of us
G           C                   F/C                         Dm  
  To die by your side, well the pleasure the privilege is mine

Am  G        Am  G  F/C    C   G   
  Take me out tonight
            Am        G            Am             G
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
           F/C   C  G                                                  
           Am        G      Am      G           F/C
And in the darkened underpass, I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
C  G
           Am           G             Am               G   
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask
           F/C   C  G                                                 
Am  G        Am  G  F/C    C   G  
  Take me out tonight
            Am        G            Am             G
Oh take me anywhere, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
           F/C   C  G                                                  
      Am     G      Am  G  F/C                        C   G
Just driving in your car, I never never want to go home
                  Am  G   Am    G             F/C     C    G
Because I haven't got one no no no, I haven't got one

( Dm  F  G )

         C              Am   F/C
And if a double-decker bus, crashes into us
G             C                  F/C               Dm
  To die by your side, is such a heavenly way to die
          C        Am   F/C
And if a ten ton truck, kills the both of us
G           C                   F/C                         Dm  
  To die by your side, well the pleasure the privilege is mine

 Am         B9-        C9         G4(6)    F/C

Never goes out
