Sting - Stolen Car chords
Start Jamming...
[D] [Gm]
Late at night [Eb] in summer heat, [A] expensive car, empty street
[Gm] There's a wire in my jacket, [Eb] but this is my trade
[A] It only takes a moment, [G] don't be [D] afraid
I can [Cm] hotwire an ignition [F] light, some kind of star
I'm [Gm] just a poor boy [E] in a rich man's car
[Cm] So I whisper to the engine, [G] we flick on [D] the lights
[Gm] And we drive into the night
Oh, the smell of the leather [Eb] always has my imagination
And [G] I picture [A] myself [C] in this different situation
[Gm] I'm a company director, [Eb] two kids and a wife
[A] I get the feeling that [G] there's more to this [D] one's life
There's [Eb] some kind of complication, [Cm] he tells her he's the law
[Gm] Spends the night with his lover, [E] there's a trace of her cologne
[Cm] And the words of his mistress, [D] as she whispers them so near
[Eb] Start ringing in my [C] ear
[Gm] We [Cm] sing and dance [Eb] until night, [F] I've been all on [Gm] my own
You [Eb] promised one day [Cm] we could, that's what [Fm] you said on [Gm] the phone
I'm just [Eb] a prisoner [Cm] of love, [F] always hid from [Eb] the light
Take me dancing, [F] please take me dancing [G] tonight
[Gm] I
[Bb]
[Gm] imagine his wife, she [Eb] don't look nothing like a fool
[A] She picks the kids up from [G] some private [D] school
She [Cm] remembers what he told her, [F] it was later worked along
But [Gm] there's more than the suspicion [E] in this lingering cologne
[Cm] And the kids just won't be quiet [D] as she runs a traffic light
[Gm] And she drives [Cm] me [Eb] into the night
[F]
[Gm] You [Eb] promised one day [Cm] we could, that's what [F] you said on [Gm] the phone
I'm just [Eb] a prisoner [Cm] of love, always hid from [Eb] the light
Take [Cm] me dancing, [F] please take me dancing [Em] tonight
[Bm] So here I am, [C] in a stolen car, the [Em] traffic lights
[A]
[G] They go from red to green
So I [C] just [Ab] drive [Bb] into [F] the [Em] night
Take [Am] me dancing tonight, [D] I've been all on [Em] my own
You [C] promised one day [Am] we could, that's what [D] you said on [Em] the phone
I'm just [C] a prisoner [Am] of love, [D] always hid from [C] the light
Take me dancing, [D] please take me dancing [Em] tonight
Take [Am] me dancing [C] tonight, I've [D] been [Em] all on my own
You [C] promised one day [Am] we could, that's what [D] you said on [Em] the phone
I'm just [C] a prisoner [Am] of love, [D] always hid from [C] the light
Take me dancing, [D] please take me dancing [Em] tonight
Take [Am] me dancing [C] tonight, [D] I've been all on [Em] my own
You [C] promised one day [Am] we could, that's what [Dm] you said on [Em] the phone
I'm just [C] a prisoner [Am] of love, [D] always hid from [C] the light
