G                                     Cadd9                                     G  
     Cadd9
all the other girls here are stars—you are the Northern Lights
G                                                  Cadd9                              
           G         Cadd9
they try to shine in through your curtains—you're too close and too bright
G                          Em7
they try and they try but everything that they do
         Am                                C                        G
is the ghost of a trace of a pale imitation of you
                              Cadd9                                      G      Cadd9
I'll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
G                                       Cadd9                                         
  G       Cadd9
this party is made with the night air and the chance that a smile
G                                      Cadd9                                         
        Cadd9
will wind its way from your face to one of the boys in your line
G                                                Em7
you act like you're hip to their tricks and you're strong
           Am                       C                                            G
but a virgin Wurlitzer heart never once had a song
                                Cadd9                                G        Cadd9
I'll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen
G                                                           D
and I'll have you back by break of day
                                       Cadd9
I'm going your way anyway
                                                 G
and if you'd like to come along
                                  D
I'll be yours for a song

Interlude:   G       Cadd9       G         Cadd9


G                                             Cadd9                           G    
 Cadd9
I know you are waiting and I know that it is not for me
G                                                          Cadd9                      
                  G          Cadd9
but I'm here and I'm ready and I've saved you the passenger seat
G                                        Em7
I won't be your last dance just your last goodnight
Am                                            C                                          
                     G
every heart is a package tangled up in knots someone else tied
                                 Cadd9                                G         Cadd 9
I'll be the one to drive you back home Kathleen

Gmaj    Cadd9     Repeat  4 times

G                                            Cadd9                                
    Cadd9
so crawl up your trellis and quietly back into your room
G                                                             Cadd9                   
            G         Cadd9
and I'll coast down the length of your drive by the light of the moon
G                                                       Em7
and the next time I see you a new kind of hello
                 Am                                    C
both our hearts have a secret only both of us know
                  G          Cadd9                                     G        Cadd9
'bout the night that I drove you back home Kathleen

Repeat       G   Cadd9
