Intro:
A Asus2 Asus2/D
A Asus2 Asus2/D
A Asus2 Asus2/D A Asus2 Asus2/D
all the other girls here are stars�you are the Northern Lights
A Asus2 Asus2/D A Asus2 Asus2/D
they try to shine in through your curtains�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
Asus2 Asus2/D A Asus2 Asus2/D
I�ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
this party was made with the night air and the chance that a smile
will wind its way from your face to one of the boys in your line
you act like you�re hip to their tricks and you�re strong
but a virgin Wurlitzer heart never once had a song
I�ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
A 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
E7
I�ll be yours for a song
A Asus2 Asus2/D
A Asus2 Asus2/D
I know you are waiting and I know that it is not for me
but I�m here and I�m ready and I�ve saved you the passenger seat
I won�t be your last dance just your last goodnight
every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied
I�ll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
A Asus2 Asus2/D
A Asus2 Asus2/D
A Asus2 Asus2/D
A Asus2 Asus2/D
so crawl up your trellis and quietly back into your room
and I�ll coast down the length of your drive by the light of the moon
and the next time we meet�a new kind of hello
both our hearts have a secret only both of us know
�bout the night that I drove you back home Kathleen
