[Intro]
A   Amaj7   A
A   Amaj7   A
 
[Verse 1]
A                        Amaj7     A
    Who's gonna tell you when it's too late
A                         Amaj7        A
    Who's gonna tell you things aren't so great
 
[Chorus]
F#m               B           F#m            B
     You can't go on, thinkin'    nothing's wrong
A/E                        Eadd13  A
     Who's gonna drive you home tonight
 
[Verse 2]
A                        Amaj7   A
    Who's gonna pick you up when you fall
A                       Amaj7   A
    Who's gonna hang it up when you call
A                     Amaj7       A
    Who's gonna pay attention to your dreams
A                              Amaj7      A
    And who's gonna plug their ears when you scream
 
[Chorus]
F#m               B           F#m            B
     You can't go on, thinkin'    nothing's wrong
A/E                        Eadd13  A
     Who's gonna drive you home tonight
 
[Instrumental]

C#m   D     A/E   E
 
[Verse 3]
A                        Amaj7      A
    Who's gonna hold you down, when you shake
A                     Amaj7       A
    Who's gonna come around, when you break
 
[Chorus]
F#m               B           F#m            B
     You can't go on, thinkin'    nothing's wrong
A/E                        Eadd13  A
     Who's gonna drive you home tonight
 F#m                        B           F#m            B
Ohh,  you know you can't go on, thinkin'    nothing's wrong
A/E                        Eadd13 A
     Who's gonna drive you home tonight

In the chorus it's a B not Bm. And capo on 2nd fret to sound like original.
