Take it away, don’t you wan’t to stay

till there’s no else around.
Take it away,…
GMaj7 A/B B7
Lonely driver out on the road
Em7 G/A D
with a hundred miles to go.
GMaj7 A/B B7
Sole survivor carrying the load
Em7 G/A D
switches on the radio.
Take it away,…
Take it away,…
I the audience watching the show
with a paper in his hand (in his hand, in his hand)
some important impresario
has a message for the band.
Take it away,…

You never know who may be listening to you
F#m7 Bm7
You never know who may be listening to you.

Take it away, take it away.
After hours late in the bar
by a darker corner seat
faded flowers wait in the jar
till the evening is complete.
End: with chords of the second part fading out.
