C#
Safe, better keep that thought to yourself (Self)
                               A#m
When you find that place and it only lasts
for a minute
Yeah, it only lasts for a minute
Cm    C#
These days (Days), gotta take your time,
find your space (Space)
                           A#m
You can say it louder, but only you're
gonna hear it
                             Cm
And it's gone in less than a minute

F#             G#              A#m         Fm
Take a little time to dry your salty ocean tears
       F#                 G#              C#
If you need it, then you don't have to explain

Chorus:
           C#                G#
So put the car in drive, and don't stop runnin'
            F#
'til you're long gone (Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
             A#m                 G#
You're gonna be all right if you just stop thinkin'
   F#
it over
           C#                G#
So put the car in drive, and don't stop runnin'
             F#
'til you're long gone (Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)
               A#m                 G#
They'll never slow you down if you don't
                F#
look over your shoulder (Oh-oh-oh)

Safe (Safe), you can keep that thought
for yourself (Self)
Yeah, you found your place, and you're
all for this new beginning
You can make it last if you're in it

Stop wasting all your time on waiting
up for better things
If you feel it, then it's all you have to say

Chorus

F#  G#
(Oh-oh-oh)
A#m Fm
(Oh-oh-oh)
             F#
Just put the car in drive
                G#
And chase the county lines
             A#m                 Fm
You'll never know how far you'll go
          F#
Ride the coastal highs
          G#
For every long goodbye
              A#m             Fm
There'll be a future down the road
               F#            G#
Why don't you take a little time to get away?

Chorus:
So put the car in drive,
and don't stop runnin' 'til you're long gone
(Until you're long gone)
You're gonna be alright
if you just stop thinkin' it over (Oh)
Just put the car in drive,
and don't stop runnin' 'til you're long gone
(Run 'til you're long gone)
They'll never slow you down
if you don't look over your shoulder (Oh)
I swear you'll be alright
if you just stop thinkin' it over (Oh)

(Oh)
(Oh)
