Em

[Verse 1]
Em                G
We were strangers side by side
Am
My car was big and I knew he needed a ride
Em                  G
A man of two truths trained to shout
C                          Am
So I fell in love with him on both sides of his mouth

And I said

Em    G     C     Am
Amen, amen, amen, amen

[Chorus]
C                        Am
Something told me not to run
Am                                   D
Said I'd be the one, I'd be the one, I'd be the one
C            Am               Em
I'd be the one to drive him home

[Verse 2]
               G
He feared he'd fall
           C
Didn't know
Am
Said I was everything that he'd been dreaming of
Em                 G
He crawled inside me to my core
C                          Am
And pointed north to stars I'd never seen before

And I said

Em    G      C    Am
Amen, amen, amen, amen

[Chorus]
C                        Am
Something told me not to run
Am                                   D
Said I'd be the one, I'd be the one, I'd be the one
C                           Am
To touch him like he was my own
Am                                          D
And I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home

C                  Am
I'd be the one to drive him

[Verse 3]
C                        Am
I don't want to have him just to hold
Em                     D
I want a ring of fire, he's got a ring of gold
C                            Am
But he don't want to have me just to hold
Em                       D                     C
He wants a ring of fire, I want his word of gold

[Bridge]
               Am
And I won't mind laying with fire
C                   Am                    Em
When we're running up and up we can unfold
G    Am
Em                    G
I would ride with him all life long
C                          Am
I wouldn't share him for a story or a song
Em
His eyes pled, "don't leave"
G
But I knew best
Am                        Am
Even though it burns like battery acid in my chest

[Chorus]
C               Am
Something told me I should run
Em                                   D
Said I'd be the one, I'd be the one, I'd be the one
C                     Am
To love him more than my need to own
Em                                          D
And I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home, I'd drive him home

C                         Am
I won't be raining like a stone
Em                                   D
No they won't know I drove him home, I drove him home
C                         Am
But if someday my bird is flown
Em                       D                         C
If my light's still on, my window's drawn and I'm alone

[Outro]
C         Am
I'll be the one
C         Am
I'll be the one
C         Am
I'll be the one
C         Am
To drive him home
