              Am                G
Where there's music and there's people
        Am         G   | F | C G |
Who are young and alive.

  Driving in your car

I never, never want to go home

And I'm welcome no more.

...double-decker bus crashes into us
G           C                   F               Dm
  To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die

         C       Am    F
And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us
G           C                  F                         Dm
  To die by your side: oh, the pleasure the privilege is mine.

And in the darkened underpass

I thought, "Oh God, my chance has come at last

Because I haven't got one,           I haven't got one.
