            [Intro]
Em C D
[Verse 1]
Em D       Em D   C    G D
   Take me out tonight
              Em                D
where there's music and there's people
        Em        D C  G D
who are young and alive
Em      D       Em  D
Driving in your car
  C                      G
I never never want to go home
D                 Em      D Em D
because I haven't got one
   C    G D
anymore
[Verse 2]
Em D       Em D   C    G D
   Take me out tonight
          Em          D
because I want to see people and I
Em          D      C G D
want to see lights
Em      D       Em  D
Driving in your car
   C                    G
oh please don't drop me home
D                Em            D
because it's not my home, it's their
              Em         D     C G D
home, and I'm welcome no more
[Instrumental]
  Bm C
[Chorus]
  D        G             Em
  And if a double-decker bus
  C               D
  crashes into us
            G
  to die by your side
         C               D
  such a heavenly way to die
           G         Em
  And if a ten ton truck
  C                    D
  kills the both of us
            G
  to die by your side
      C                         D
  the pleasure the privilege is mine
[Verse 3]
Em D       Em D   C    G D
   Take me out tonight
           Em                D    Em D C G D
oh take me anywhere, I don't care
           Em       D    Em
And in the darkened underpass
  D          C                               G D
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
            Em           D
(but then a strange fear gripped me and I
Em            D    C G D
just couldn't ask)
[Verse 4]
Em D       Em D   C    G D
   Take me out tonight
        Em                D    Em D C G D
take me anywhere, I don't care
     Em      D       Em  D
Just driving in your car
  C                      G
I never never want to go home
D                 Em      D Em D
because I haven't got one
          C       G D
I haven't got one
[Instrumental]
  Bm C
[Chorus]
  D        G             Em
  And if a double-decker bus
  C               D
  crashes into us
            G

[Outro]
Em         D            Em         D
There is a light and it never goes out
C                       G          D
There is a light and it never goes out
