Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
F  (x33210) <--the way Brian often plays it
, , ,  x2
Stay  the same, don't ever change
 Cause I'd miss  your ways
 With your Bette  Davis eyes
 And your mama's  party dress
 While this city  pumps it's aching heart
 For one  more drop of blood,
 We work our fingers  down to dust
 And we wait  for kingdom come
 With the radio on
 I wanna see  you tonight
 Would you come  for a drive?
 You can lean  into me
 If you ain't  been in love  for a while
 Repeat intro chords
 I was born  beside a river
 That flows  to a raging sea
 That will one  day serve to quell
 Or one  day be the death  of me
 In my faded  jeans and far away eyes
 And salty  carnival kiss
 That all  my former lovers say
 Was once  magnificent
 I wanna see  you tonight
 Would you come  for a drive?
 You can lean  into me
 And if you ain't  oh if you ain't...
 I wanna see  you tonight
 Would you come  for a drive?
 You can lean  into me
 If you ain't  been in love  for a while
 Repeat intro chords again
 And still this city  pumps it's aching  heart
 For one  more drop of blood
 We work our fingers  down to dust
 While we wait  for kingdom come
 With the radio on
With  the radio on
 It's been so  long Mae, so long
 It's been so  long Mae, so long
But  since the radio's on...
