Capo 1st fret

intro:  A - Asus4 - Dsus2
pull-off from (2nd fret, 2nd string) to open when switching from A to Asus4


 A            Asus4           Dsus2
all the other girls here are stars—-
                     A     ...Asus4...Dsus2...
you are the Northern Lights
A                 Asus4           Dsus2
they try to shine in through your curtains-—
                         A  ...Asus4...Dsus2
you’re too close and too bright
 A                             F#m
they try and they try but everything that they do
       D                                        A
is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you
                    D                    A    ...Asus4...Dsus2...
I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
     A         Asus4        Dsus2                     
this party is made with the night air 
                      A    ...Asus4...Dsus2...
and the chance that a smile
     A        Asus4         Dsus2 
will wind its way from your face 
                           A   ...Asus4...Dsus2...
to one of the boys in your line
    A                            F#m
you act like you’re hip to their tricks and you’re strong
      D                                       A
but a virgin Wurlitzer heart never once had a song
                    D                    A    ...Asus4...Dsus2...
I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen


C#m                                E
and I’ll have you back by break of day
                          F#m
I’m going your way anyway
                          D
and if you’d like to come along
                    E
I’ll be yours for a song

A - Asus4 - Dsus2


  A            Asus4         Dsus2
I know you are waiting and I know 
                   A   ...Asus4...Dsus2...
that it is not for me
        A            Asus4          Dsus
but I’m here and I’m ready and I’ve saved you 
              A   ...Asus4...Dsus2...
the passenger seat
A                                    F#m
I won’t be your last dance just your last goodnight
      D                                                   A
every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied
                    D                    A    ...Asus4...Dsus2...
I’ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen

          ...hammond solo...

A              Asus4         Dsus2
so crawl up your trellis and quietly 
                A   ...Asus4...Dsus2...
back into your room
         A              Asus4          Dsus2
and I’ll coast down the length of your drive 
                    A    ...Asus4...Dsus2...
by the light of the moon
         A                        F#m
and the next time I see you—a new kind of hello
         D                                     
both our hearts have a secret only both of us know
          A            D                   A
‘bout the night that I drove you back home Kathleen
A ... D ... A ...
