**Chords:**
C   G   Am   E   F   C   Dm   G

C               G
Take me out tonight
       Am              E
Where there's music and there's people
       F               C   Dm   G
And they're young and alive
C                G
Driving in your car
        Am               E
I never never want to go home
       F                C   Dm   G
Because I haven't got one anymore

C       G
Take me out tonight
       Am                  E
Because I want to see people and I
       F               C   Dm   G
Want to see lights
C                G
Driving in your car
        Am               E
I never never want to go home
       F                C   Dm   G
Because I haven't got one

      F                 C
And if a double-decker bus
     Dm              G
Crashes into us
       F               C
To die by your side
       Dm           G
Is such a heavenly way to die
       F               C
And if a ten-ton truck
      Dm            G
Kills the both of us
       F               C
To die by your side
       Dm           G
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

C       G
Take me out tonight
       Am                  E
Take me anywhere, I don't care
       F               C   Dm   G
And in the darkened underpass
C               G
I thought, "Oh God, my chance has come at last"
       Am             E
But then a strange fear gripped me
    F             C   Dm   G
And I just can't ask

      F                 C
And if a double-decker bus
     Dm              G
Crashes into us
       F               C
To die by your side
       Dm           G
Is such a heavenly way to die
       F               C
And if a ten-ton truck
      Dm            G
Kills the both of us
       F               C
To die by your side
       Dm           G
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

C   G   Am   E   F   C   Dm   G

C          G
There is a light
       Am         E
That never goes out
C          G
There is a light
       Am         E
That never goes out
C          G
There is a light
       Am         E
That never goes out
C          G
There is a light
       Am         E
That never goes out
