[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em G
We were strangers side by side
Am
My car was big and I knew he needed a ride
Em G
A man of two truths trained to shout
C Am
So I fell in love with him on both sides of his mouth
And I said
Em G C Am
Amen, amen, amen, amen
[Chorus]
C Am
Something told me not to run
Am D
Said I'd be the one, I'd be the one, I'd be the one
C Am Em
I'd be the one to drive him home
[Verse 2]
G
He feared he'd fall
C
Didn't know
Am
Said I was everything that he'd been dreaming of
Em G
He crawled inside me to my core
C Am
And pointed north to stars I'd never seen before
And I said
Em G C Am
Amen, amen, amen, amen
[Chorus]
C Am
Something told me not to run
Am D
Said I'd be the one, I'd be the one, I'd be the one
C Am
To touch him like he was my own
Am D
And I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home
C Am
I'd be the one to drive him
[Verse 3]
C Am
I don't want to have him just to hold
Em D
I want a ring of fire, he's got a ring of gold
C Am
But he don't want to have me just to hold
Em D C
He wants a ring of fire, I want his word of gold
[Bridge]
Am
And I won't mind laying with fire
C Am Em
When we're running up and up we can unfold
G Am
Em G
I would ride with him all life long
C Am
I wouldn't share him for a story or a song
Em
His eyes pled, "don't leave"
G
But I knew best
Am Am
Even though it burns like battery acid in my chest
[Chorus]
C Am
Something told me I should run
Em D
Said I'd be the one, I'd be the one, I'd be the one
C Am
To love him more than my need to own
Em D
And I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home
C Am
I won't be raining like a stone
Em D
No they won't know I drove him home, I drove him home
C Am
But if someday my bird is flown
Em D C
If my light's still on, my window's drawn and I'm alone
[Outro]
C Am
I'll be the one
C Am
I'll be the one
C Am
I'll be the one
C Am
To drive him home
