~ The first verse play the intro riff throughout until the Em.
~ In the chorus, Jason plays a G to a Gmaj7, I play a D in place of the Gmaj7. That's why I have it labelled as a (D). You play what sounds better to you.
==VERSE== G Long drive, long night, the best night of my life G With you riding your hand on my hand. EmC The thought of arriving, kind of feels like dying. GG I don't want to go home and be alone. G Could we, stay out? Could you...
==PRE-CHOURUS== Em Drive a little slower, don't matter where we're going CG As long as I'm with you, we can take the long way.
==VERSE== G Chevy Nova front seat sofa G Getting closer to you.
==PRE-CHORUS== Em Drive a little slower, don't matter where we're going CG 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... *STOP*
==CHORUS== GGmaj7 (D) 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. GGmaj7 (D) 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.
==BRIDGE== EmCD Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 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*
==CHORUS== GGmaj7 (D) EmC Take the long way out (whoa) GGmaj7 (D) EmC Take the long way now (whoa)
==PRE-CHORUS== EmC Drive a little slower; don't matter where we're going, going now. EmC Drive a little slower; don't matter where we're going, going now. EmC Drive a little slower; I'm not ready to go home, I'd rather stay with you G We can take the long way.
==OUTRO== G Long drive, long night, the best night of my life.
