Bm                                    Gmaj7
Midnight, you come and pick me up, no headlights.
Bm                                         Gmaj7
Long drive, could end in burning flames or paradise
     Bm                                                 Gmaj7

I should just tell you to leave cause I know exactly where it leads,

D                                                     Asus4      Gmaj7
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye and I got that red lip, classic thing that you like.

We never go out of style.

You've got that long hair slick back, white t-shirt and I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt
    Asus4      Bm            
And when we go crashing down, we come back every time 
          Asus4    Gmaj7                                   Asus4
'Cause we never go out of style, we never go out of style.

So it goes, he can't keep his wild eyes on the road.
Bm                                        Gmaj7 
Takes me home, lights are off he's taking off his coat. Mmmm, yeah.
        Bm                                                     Gmaj7
I say, "I heard (oh!) That you've been out and about with some other girl." Some other girl.


[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em7                                      Dmaj7 
He says, "What you've heard is true but I can't stop thinking about you and I."
Gmaj7
    I said, "I've been there, too, a few times." Tee hee.



[Chorus 2]
                    D                                        Asus4      Gmaj7

And when we go crashing down, we come back every time 'cause we never go out of style, 

We never go out of style.
