   A
A long slow drive down an old dirt road
                 D
you’ve got your hand out the window,
                   F#m
listenin’ to the radio
  E                   D
That’s where I wanna be
      A
On an old park bench in the middle of December
      D                                F#m
Cold hard rain fallin, can’t find no cover
            E               D
That would be alright with me

Chorus:
D                        E
Hard days, good times, blue skies, dark nights
D                    A     Bm                       E
Baby, I want you to take me, wherever you’re going to
D                     F#m    Bm A/C# D
Maybe say that you’ll save me,
                A D
a seat next to you

In the corner booth of a downtown bar,
with your head on my shoulder
Smoking on a cheap cigar that
would be alright with me
In the back row of a movie or a cross-town train
I wanna hear your voice whispering
my name that's where I wanna be

Chorus

 G
Life is like a ferris wheel spinnin around
          A
When you get to the top it’s hard to look down
 Em         D           A
Just hang on we’ll make it through
G      Bm                A
Save me  a seat next to you

          A
When you get to the gates and the angels sing
 D
Go to that place where the church bells ring
F#m                 E       A
You know I’ll come runnin, runnin to find you

Chorus:
Baby, I want you to take me,
wherever you’re going to
Maybe I want that you’ll save me,
a seat next to you
a seat next to you
a seat next to you
a seat next to you
