Intro: F#m F#m A B


C#m   B      C#m B     A  A  E  B
     Take me out    tonight
               C#m               B
Where there's music and there's people
         C#m        B A A E B
Who are young and alive
  C#m   B        C#m B
Driving in your car
   A           A          E
I never never want to go home
   B               C#m    B C#m B    A A E B
Because I haven't got one        anymore


C#m   B      C#m B     A  A  E  B
     Take me out    tonight
           C#m         B
Because I want to see people and I
 C#m         B A A E B
Want to see lights
  C#m   B       C#m   B
Driving in your car
     A            A      E
Oh please don't drop me home
   B              C#m            B
Because it's not my home, it's their
              C#m         B A A E B
Home, and I'm welcome no more


Chorus:
F#m F#m A B          E
           And if a double-decker
 C#m  A          E
Bus crashes into us
B           E                A               F#m
 To die by your side such a heavenly way to die
          E       C#m   A                E
And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us
B           E              A
 To die by your side the pleasure
                  F#m
The privilege is mine


C#m   B      C#m B     A  A  E
     Take me out    tonight
B       C#m          B
Take me anywhere, I don't care,
         C#m           B  A  A  E  B
I don't care, I don't care
            C#m     B     C#m
And in the darkened underpass
    B          A                  A       E
I thought "Oh God, my chance has come at last"
B              C#m         B
 But then a strange fear gripped me and
   C#m          B   A  A  E  B
I just couldn't ask


C#m   B      C#m B     A  A  E
     Take me out    tonight
     B      C#m                B
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care,
         C#m           B  A  A  E  B
I don't care, I don't care
C#m     B       C#m
Driving in your car
B   A            A          E
 I never, never want to go home
   B              C#m       B     C#m
Because I haven't got one, la-di-dum,
B             A     A  E  B
Oh I haven't got one


Chorus:
F#m F#m A  B          E
Oh, o-o-oh  and if a double-decker
 C#m  A          E
Bus crashes into us
B           E                A               F#m
 To die by your side such a heavenly way to die
          E       C#m   A                E
And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us
B           E              A
 To die by your side the pleasure
                  F#m
The privilege is mine


  C#m       B              C#m       B
There is a light and that never goes out
  A         A              E         B
There is a light and that never goes out
  C#m       B              C#m       B
There is a light and that never goes out
  A         A              E         B
There is a light and that never goes out
  C#m       B              C#m       B
There is a light and that never goes out
  A         A              E         B
There is a light and that never goes out
  C#m       B              C#m       B
There is a light and that never goes out
  A         A              E         B
There is a light and that never goes out
