Intro: G Em G Em (2x) 


Verse 
         G 
I took a drive tonight,  
                                   Em 
I drove past all the houses of the friends I had in school,  
           G                                          Em 
and it was sad, 12 years of hard learnt lessons in an hour seems so cruel,  
           G 
It took an awful lot of courage,  
      Em 
but I smiled on my way back,  
G                                    Em 
One big housing estate, one thousand cul-de-sacs.  
            C 
I’m not the sort of person to get impatient,  
     Em                        D 
when needlessly delayed by the traffic lights.  
          C 
On such a frosty evening, you take it steady,  
         Em                 D 
Cause to go like that would just be trite,  


G                              C 
Faulty speakers kill the lower frequencies,  
  G                                 C 
Reminds me of the tape deck that we tampered with that night,  
      Em             C             G 
But today the photos fade like my affinity,  
        Em                  C                D 
And the songs that last the longest mean the least.  

Verse 
            G 
So here’s a doll, and here’s a map,  
       Em 
please point to where she touched you,  
G                                     Em 
Point to where I touched you and then where you want to go,  
              G 
Cause there’s petrol in the car,  
        Em 
and I’m in that sort of mood,  
       G                                  Em 
It’s a chance to relearn all those stupid songs we used to know.  
         C 
Like the one about the two old friends  
    Em           D 
who end up going off to war,  
  C                            Em 
A broken hi-fi spewing tired analogies,  
    D 
and nothing more.  

G                              C 
Faulty speakers kill the lower frequencies,  
  G                                 C 
Reminds me of the tape deck that we tampered with that night,  
      Em             C             G 
But today the photos fade like my affinity,  
        Em                  C                D 
And the songs that last the longest mean the least. 
 

Outro 
G Em G Em 

G                              Em 
Some old song comes on the radio,  
  G                                       Em 
a song that’s kitsch and meaningless that everybody knows,  
     G                             Em 
so between you and me this means nothing, 
     G                             Em 
so between you and me this means nothing.
