A		 	A			A			D (+4)
Get in the car, she said and drive me into next week
A			A			A			D (+4)
I should have turned her down, blame my curious streak
A			A			A			D (+4)
I never dreamed that we'd be driving into trouble
A			A			A		D (+4)
Until we hit a rock that bent my nose double

CHORUS
E			E			Bm
I'd say we both were on the run, run, run
E			E			Bm
She looked too fresh for twenty-one, one, one
E			E			F#m
She slipped her little hand in mine, mine, mine
E						D	   A		 D
Said I'll take you where the wind don't whine, whine
E					D 	    A
I'll take you where the wind don't whine


The wheels were moaning, we were hitting ninety five
The rain was pelting down, my engine was alive
The roads were empty as the day turned into night
At every street light her face shone white

I asked her name and she just smiled, smiled, smiled
We must have clocked a thousand miles, miles, miles
She said we'll be there in a while, while, while
Said I'll take you where the wind don't whine, whine
I'll take you where the wind don't whine

I was feeling weary when the car died on me
I pulled her over and the strength drained from me
The price of running's getting dearer and dearer
And nothing ever seems to get nearer and nearer

I suppose I didn't make the grade, grade, grade
When I looked round she'd slipped away, way, way
Out in the night you'll see her shine, shine
Waiting where the wind don't whine, whine, 
Waiting where the wind don't whine
