Dm C/E F Let's go for a drive, see the town tonight C/E Dm There's nothing to do but I don't mind when C/E F I'm with you This town’s so strange They built it to change And while we sleep We know the streets get rearranged With my old friends It was so different then Before your war Against the suburbs began Before it began Now the music divides Us into tribes You grew your hair So I grew mine You said the past won’t rest Until we jump the fence And leave it behind With my old friends I can remember when You cut your hair I never saw you again Now the cities we live in Could be distant stars And I search for you In every passing car Chorus: F G Am C G The night's so long F G Am Yeah, the night's so long C G F G Am C G I've been living in the shadows of your song F G Am C G Living in the shadows of your song In the suburbs, I I learned to drive And you told me we would never survive So grab your mother’s keys, we leave tonight But you started a war That we can’t win They keep erasing all the streets We grew up in Now the music divides Us into tribes You choose your side I’ll choose my side A# Am A# Dm C/E F But my old friends they don't know me now A# Am A# Dm C/E F But my old friends are staring through me now A# Am A# Dm C/E F But my old friends they don't know me now A# Am A# Dm C/E F But my old friends they don't know me now Am A# Dm C/E F They don't know me now You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A#  C  Dm  E  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
