Drive By Chords

Notes*:
   -the key is C#m (same notes as E major)
 
   -The guitar strums on the off beat
   when the kick drum doesn't play
 
   -There's a lot of varied chord voices but my favorite way to
   play it when you have two guitar players is to have one guitar
   player transpose down 9 half-steps and play with a capo on the
   9th fret, while the other plays the regular chords with no capo.
 
 
[Intro]
 
C#m - C#m
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
C#m                                    A
  On the other side of a street I knew Stood a girl that looked like you
E                          B
I guess that's déjà vu But I thought this can't be true
      C#m                      A
Cause you moved to west L.A or New York or Santa Fe
   E                           B
Or where ever to get away from me
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
F#m                   A
 Oh but that one night Was more than just right
C#m                B
 I didn't leave you cause I was all through
F#m                  A
 Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
G#                 G#7
 Because I really fell for you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A                E                    B                   C#m  B
 Oh I swear to ya I'll be there for ya This is not a drive by
A              E                   B                    Cdim
 Just a shy guy looking for a 2-ply Hefty bag to hold my love
A                 E                   B                       C#m
 When you move me everything is groovy They don't like it sue me
             B     A               E
 The way you do me Oh I swear to ya I'll be there for ya
F#m                 G#7

[Verse 2]
 
C#m                                    A
 On the other side of a downward spiral My love for you went viral
E                          B              C#m
 And I loved you every mile you drove away But now here you are again
   A
 So let's skip the "how you been"
    E                                   B
 And get down to the "more than friends" at last
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
F#m                   A
 Oh but that one night Was still the highlight
C#m                B
 I didn't neeed you until I came to
F#m                 A
 And I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
G#                 G#7
 Because I really fell for you
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A                E                    B                   C#m  B
 Oh I swear to ya I'll be there for ya This is not a drive by
A              E                   B                    Cdim

A                 E                   B                       C#m
 When you move me everything is groovy They don't like it sue me
             B     A               E
 The way you do me Oh I swear to ya I'll be there for ya
F#m                 G#7

[Bridge]
 
F#m7      C#m       A       B  A
Please believe that when I leave
        G#            C#m
There's nothing up my sleeve but love for
B
You And a little time to get my head together too
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C#m                                  A
 On the other side of a street I knew Stood a girl that looked like you
