         G
It's a shame
         Am                          F   C
That I'm never gonna see your face again, mmm
              G
We're both strangers
         Am                               F     C
But I'm kind of hoping maybe that could change, yeah

     G
Well, I hope I don't sound out of place
Am
And maybe you will think it's crazy
F                       C
You look amazing, so I say it straight

Chorus:
            G                      Am
I've got a real fast car with the keys in
         F                      C
And I'm just five miles from a feeling
              G                     Am
So when your red lights so turning green, now
        F                      C
If you say you're coming with me
                   G
I'll take you there  (There)
      Am
(I'll take you there)
       F                      C
We're just five miles from a feeling
(I'll take you there)

Such a waste
That you are stuck here working in this place, mmm
So come on, take my hand
‘Cause there’s nothing in this town to make you stay, yeah

Well, I hope I don’t sound out of place
And maybe you will think it’s crazy
I think it’s time we make our getaway

Chorus

G            Am
(There, I'll take you there)
       F                      C
We're just five miles from a feeling
(I'll take you there)

Dm                  C  F
I've got a hundred dollars
                         G   Am
And you're mine for the colours
                              Em F
I could just go and you could stay
Dm                 C  F
I've met a million others
                  G  Am
Lived a thousand summers
                                   Em F
Something 'bout you makes me wanna say

Chorus

(There, I’ll take you there)
(There)
We’re just five miles from a feeling
(I'll take you there)
