For the intro, use Em with a hammer-on on the b string in the 3rd fret ;-) You'll figure it out by listening to the song.
Verse:
GEm To the wind she stood as her hair blew back CG Testing the waters on a one way track GEm Through the dusk of a high sierra storybook AmD From an East Bay cradle, not to mention cool
pre-chorus:
EmG I didn't see you as a thief C But you stole my heart anyway DEm And brought me somewhere peaceful to die
Verse:
GEm In the wash and the wake of a fleeting thought CG And you on my lap at 80 miles an hour GEm Cheating death eye to eye on her valley floor AmD Chasing suns to the west and on forever more
Pre-Chorus:
EmG I didn't see you as a thief C But you stole my heart anyway DC And brought me somewhere peaceful to die
Chorus:
GEmC (D) I know you've got me spun round like this world GEmC (D) I'm on the floor begging for nothing more GEm Than you to understand, I'm here to be your man AmD All in and revved to drive you home
G You home D You home Em You home C You home
GEmC (D) I know you've got me spun round like this world GEmC (D) I'm on the floor begging for nothing more GEm Than you to understand, I'm here to be your man AmD All in and revved to drive you home
G We're not the idle type Em And you know as well as I AmD We're thick as thieves on a destined ride
