G
Long drive, long night, the best night of my life
With you riding your hand on my hand.
Em                  C
The thought of arriving, kind of feels like dying.
G
I don't want to go home and be alone.
Could we, stay out? Could you...

                Em
Drive a little slower,
 don't matter where we're going
                C                              G
As long as I'm with you, we can take the long way.

G
Chevy Nova front seat sofa
Getting closer to you.

Chorus:
                Em
Drive a little slower, don't matter where we're going
                C                                G
As long as I'm with you, we could take the long way.
                Em
Drive a little slower, not ready to go home,
                 C
I'd rather stay with you.

                      G  Gmaj7
We can take the long way out
        Em
To the country out of town.
           C
Let's get lost; I don't wanna be found.
            G   Gmaj7
Let's get away, now
        Em
And be careful not to crash.
            C
There's no defrost and we're steaming the glass.
            Am
You and the road have a generous shoulder
            D
We can pull over and say we took the long way.

     Em
Headlights (headlights), strobe lights (strobe lights)
       C
I can see you (see you), but not quite (not quite)
       D
I can feel you (feel you) inside (inside)
     G
The timing (timing) is just right (just right)
          C
For the moment (moment) I don't want (don't want)
    D
to go home (go home) - *STOP*


               G   Gmaj7    Em C
Take the long way out (whoa)
               G   Gmaj7    Em C
Take the long way now (whoa)

Drive a little slower;
don’t matter where we’re going
Take the long way
Drive a little slower;
don’t matter where we going now
Take the long way
Drive a little slower; not ready to go home
I’d rather stay with you
We can take the long way

Long drive, long night
The best night of my life
