Passenger Seat
Arkells
Morning Report (2016)
Not that it really changes anything, but I find it might sound a little more like the original recording if
you transpose it down 2 and put the capo on 2. It's the same chords, but the particular pitch changes sound a
little more accurate.
[Intro]
Em C Bm
[Verse 1]
Em
We called it a party
C Bm
Even though everybody was sad
Em
You showed up with some coffee
C Bm
Stated moving at seven am
Em
You were having trouble sleeping
C Bm
I was having trouble keeping still
Em
When we talk it's like a meeting
C Bm
Full of budgets and utility bills
[Chorus]
Em
Driving on the highway home
G
This time alone
D C
Doesn't mean the same without you
Em G
I turned on the radio to something slow
D C
Just to let it fuck with my mood
Em G
And songs don't sound the same
D C C Bm
Without you in the passenger seat
D
Without you
Em C Bm Em C Bm
In the passenger seat
[Verse 2]
Em
We made a deal when we started
C Bm
And we knew it would take some work
Em
Every day was like a party
C Bm
And living life with no concern
Em
I remember the feeling
C Bm
Of driving to my parents' place
Em
I'd lean on in to kiss you
C Bm
See the gap toothed smile on your face
[Chorus]
Em
Driving on the highway home
G
This time alone
D C
Doesn't mean the same without you
Em G
I turned on the radio to something slow
D C
Just to let it fuck with my mood
Em G
And songs don't sound the same
D C C Bm
Without you in the passenger seat
D
Without you
[Bridge]
Am
You and I always laughed at the system
G
No, we wouldn't be just another statistic
C G
We said those things all those years ago
Am
I read some things I shouldn't have seen
G
And you look like you've given up trying
C
You think I don't care when you walk in the room
D
Katie just tell me, now what can I do?
[Chorus]
Em
Driving on the highway home
G
This time alone
D C
Doesn't mean the same without you
Em G
I turned on the radio to something slow
D C
Just to let it fuck with my mood
Em
When the road starts to bend
G
And the signal ends
D C
And only static's coming through
Em
I think about the things you said
G
They all go in my head
D C
I'm alone because I know it's true
Em G
And songs don't sound the same
D C C Bm
Without you in the passenger seat
D
Without you
Em C Bm Em C Bm
In the passenger seat
