[Verse 1]
Bm
Midnight
You come and pick me up,
    G
 no headlights
  Bm
A long drive
Could end in burning
         G
flames or paradise
     Bm
Fade into view, oh
It's been a while since
             G
 I have even heard
from you
(Heard from you)

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
   And I should just tell
                      F#m
you to leave, 'cause I
Know exactly where
               G
 it leads, but I

Watch us go 'round and
 'round each time
[Chorus]
             D
You got that James Dean
daydream look in your eye
    A          G
And I got that red lip
 classic thing that you like
    A          D
And when we go crashing down,
 we come back every time
          A     G
'Cause we never go
out of style,
 we never go out of style
    A        D
You got that long hair,
slicked back, white t-shirt
    A          G
And I got that good girl
faith and a tight
little skirt
    A          Bm
And when we go crashing down,
we come back every time
          A        G
'Cause we never go out
 of style,
 we never go out of style

[Verse 2]
Bm
So it goes
He can't keep his wild
      G
 eyes on the road, mmm
Bm
Takes me home
The lights are off,
              G
he's taking off his coat,
 mmm, yeah
        Bm
I say, "I heard, oh

 about with some other girl"

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
  He says, "What you heard
              F#m
 is true, but I
Can't stop thinking
               G
'bout you and I"
I said, "I've been
there too a few times"

We never go out of style

Oh, you got that James
Dean daydream look
in your eye
    A          G
And I got that red lip
 classic thing that you like
    A          Bm
And when we go crashing
 down (And when we go)

We come back every time
          A        G

The backbone of the song is D – A – G – A (I – V – IV – V in D major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – fah – soh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
