Intro: Am–G-Am-

Verse 1:
If you cut me I will bleed
just enough to
get your attention
here I am I’m on display
pass me by without a mention
you never said this would be easy
but does it have to be so hard
my eyes are burning
my head is dizzy
a thousand miles
doesn’t seem so far

Refrain:
drive a thousand miles
it doesn’t seem so far
what you leave behind
[G/B]makes up who you are

Chorus:
drive just drive
roll the windows
down and feel alive
all night all right
I’ll drive until
the morning light
I need the silence to
escape your violent eyes
just drive away just drive

Verse 2:
spend an hour or a day
just enough to get my attention
as the wolves begin to play
here’s a knife to cut the tension
all the nights seem dark and dreary
the morning sun begins with hope
sometimes I wonder if you can hear me
or have I reached the end of the road

(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus)

Interlude: Am–G–

Bridge:
my voice is [G/B]shaking
from the risk I’m [G/B]taking
I can’t stop [G/B]driving
C G Am– x2
the sun is rising

(Repeat Chorus)

Intro: Drumbeats

Verse 1:
You’re an angel I’m a devil
But we’ll meet somewhere in between
Heaven Hell or the bedroom

But we’ll meet somewhere in between
Your sheets your covers and the headboard
I’ll be a king if you are a queen

for the first time
Watch as I move myself
up off the ground
In the dark I’m so far
from the spotlight
Can You see me now?

I turn my back
And walk away away

Screaming loud
Drowning out from

You’re the minutes I’m the hours
But we’ll meet somewhere in between
