Verse 
       G              Bm 
Getting warm, getting warmer 
       C              G 
Getting closer to the answer 
      C               G    
I was working on my grammar 
      C             D 
I was driving in my Chevy 

Verse 
G              Bm 
It was fast, but not the fastest 
C              G 
I was listening to Cactus 
C              G 
Man you really gotta practice 
C              D 
If you wanna get that heavy 

Verse 
G              Bm 
She was there, on the highway 
C              G 
And her eyes said, â??Going my way?â?� 
C              G 
And I loved her in an instant 
C              D 
Like a Turkish cymbal crashes 

Verse 
G              Bm 
Getting high and getting higher 
C              G 
Was it smoke or true desire? 
C              G 
Did we start that forest fire? 
C              D 
As we flicked away the ashes 

Bridge 
Em 
Headlights flash in the passing lane 

Trying to fill the tank with a little loose change 

Staring at the sky wondering where you are 
    C     G 
The North Star 
Em 
Old men dream of nights like these 

Pine trees swaying in the clear cool breeze 

Looking at your life from a moving car 
    C     G 
The North Star 

Verse 
G              Bm 
It got dark, it got darker 
C              G 
I got high on a permanent marker 
C              G 
Man, I felt like Peter Parker 
C              D 
And my spidey sense was tingling 

Verse 
G              Bm 
I fell apart, at the party 
C              G 
Drinking red wine and Bacardi 
C              G 
My constitution ainâ??t that hardy 
C              D 
And Iâ??m not much good at mingling 

Verse 
G              Bm 
The wind blew, yeah, it was blowing 
C              G 
And I said â??Baby, now where we going?â?� 
C              G 
A rooster started crowing 
C              D 
And the sun was coming up 

Verse 
G              Bm 
And the dawn, it was brilliant 
C              G 
Weâ??re were listening to Marillion 
C              G 
I screamed rock and rollâ??s resilient 
C              D 
Then I started throwing up 

Bridge 
Em 
Good times flash in the memory lane 

Every second bandâ??s got an animal name 

Loading our your gear from an empty bar 
    C     G 
The North Star 
Em 
Young men dream of nights like this 

The clamour of the glamour or whatever it is 

Looking in the mirror wondering who you are 
    C     G 
The North Star

(solo)

I was spinning round her curves 

Verse 
G              Bm 
I was blind, cause she was blinding 
C              G 
While the mix tape was rewinding 
C              G 
I was busy stone cold rhyming 
C              D 
I was getting on her nerves 

Verse 
G              Bm 
Then she spoke, so she was speaking 
C              G 
Said, â??Iâ??m the someone youâ??ve been seeking â?? 
C              G 
The odometer was freaking 
C              D 
We was driving my Chevy 

Verse 
G              Bm 
Half a mil, half a million 
C              G 
We were listening to Neil Young

If you wanna get that heavy

Love rattles on like a tambourine 
C              G 
Every red lightâ??s gonna turn to green 
C              G 
Lightning bolt from the sky could fly

Iâ??m not gonna say goodbye
