The simplification probably won't work on a guitar, but maybe it will.
Anyway, here is the COMPLETE AND UNSIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THE SONG
TUNE YOUR GUITAR DOWN A SEMITONE (though I don't, and it sounds fine.)
I know what you want
I wanna take you to a midnight show tonight
If you can keep a secret
I've got a blanket in the backseat on my mind,
And a little place that sits beneath the sky.
She turned her face to speak,
But no one heard her cry.
-mute------- Em7 Em7/B
Drive faster, boy-----
Drive faster, boy-----Yeah--
I know there's a hope.
There's too many people trying to help me cope.
You've got a real short skirt,
I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah, yeah.
We were just in time,
Let me take a little more off your mind.
There's something in my head,
Somewhere in the back said:
We were just a good thing, we were such a good thing.
Make it go away without a word.
But promise me you'll stay,
and fix these things I've hurt.
-mute strings----- Em7 Em7/B
Oh make it go away, oh----.
Drive faster, boy----, yeah, oh no,
A crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl.
With jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls.
I took my baby's breath, beneath the chandelier.
Of stars in atmosphere,
And watched her disappear, into the midnight show----
A-faster, a-faster, a-faster, a-faster, faster, a-faster,
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
No, no, no, no, no.
If you can keep a secret,
Well baby I can keep, you can keep a secret.
If you can keep a secret, I can keep a secret.
If you can keep a secret,
Well baby I can keep, you can keep a secret.
