D5           C5                   G5
I'm takin' a ride with my best friend.
D5        C5                 G5
I hope he never lets me down again.
D5                  C5
He knows where he's takin' me,
D5                F5
Takin' me where I wanna be.
D5           C5                     G5
I'm takin' a ride with my best friend.

C5           Bb5
We're flying high
             G5           F5
Watching the road pass us by
C5                 Bb5
Never want to come down,
                     G5                    F5
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground.

I hope he never lets me down again.
D5             C5
Promise me I'm safe as houses
D5                          F5
As long as I remember who's wearin' the trousers.
D5        C5                    G5
I hope he never lets me down again.

C5           Bb5
We're flying high

Watching the road pass us by
