My simplified chords:
Em7 = Em
Em7/B = B
Em7/A = Em
Em7/G = Em
Em/G = G
Em7/D = D
D/F# = D
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.)
Intro:
Em7 - Em7 - Em7/B - Em7/B - Em7/A - Em7/A - Em/G - Em/D
Em7
I know what you want
Em7/B
I wanna take you to a midnight show tonight
Em7
If you can keep a secret
Em7/B
I've got a blanket in the backseat on my mind,
C Bm Em7
And a little place that sits beneath the sky.
C Bm
She turned her face to speak,
D
But no one heard her cry.
-mute------- Em7 Em7/B
Drive faster, boy-----
Em7/A Em/G Em7/D
Drive faster, boy-----Yeah--
Em7
I know there's a hope.
Em7/B
There's too many people trying to help me cope.
Em7
You've got a real short skirt,
Em7/B
I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah, yeah.
Em7
We were just in time,
Em7/B
Let me take a little more off your mind.
Em7
There's something in my head,
Somewhere in the back said:
Em7/B
We were just a good thing, we were such a good thing.
C Bm Em7
Make it go away without a word.
C Bm
But promise me you'll stay,
D
and fix these things I've hurt.
-mute strings----- Em7 Em7/B
Oh make it go away, oh----.
Em7/G Em/G Em7/D
Drive faster, boy----, yeah, oh no,
Solo:
Em7 - Em7 - Em7/B - Em7/B - Em7/A - Em7/A - Em/G - Em/D
C Bm Em7
A crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl.
C Bm Em7
With jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls.
C Bm Am
I took my baby's breath, beneath the chandelier.
G
Of stars in atmosphere,
D/F# D Em7 Em7/B
And watched her disappear, into the midnight show----
Em7/A Em/G Em7/D
A-faster, a-faster, a-faster, a-faster, faster, a-faster,
Em7
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
Em7/B
No, no, no, no, no.
Em7/A
If you can keep a secret,
Em/G Em7/D Em7 - Em7/B - Em7/A
Well baby I can keep, you can keep a secret.
Em/G Em7/D Em7 - Em7/B
If you can keep a secret, I can keep a secret.
Em7/A
If you can keep a secret,
Em/G Em7/D Em7
Well baby I can keep, you can keep a secret.
Outro: Em - Am - C - G D - Em - Am - C - G D - Em
