[Bm] [G] [Bm] [G]
[Bm]Midnight you come and pick me up, no [G]headlights

Fade in [Bm]the view, oh!
“It’s been a while since I have even [G]heard from you” (heard from you)


[Em]I should just tell you to leave cause I[A]
Know exactly where It leads but I[Bm]
Watch us go round and round each [G]time


You got that [D]James Dean day dream look in your eye
And I got that [G]red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go [D]crashing down we come back every time
‘Cause we never go [G]out of style, we never go out of style (OUT OF STYLE)


You got the [D]long hair slicked back, white t-shirt
And I got that [G]good girl faith and a tight little skirt
And when we go [Bm]crashing down we come back every time
Cause we never go [G]out of style, we never go out
Of style (we never go, we never go OUT OF STYLE!))


Take me [D]home, just take me [G]home
Just take me [D]home, uh oh[G](OUT OF STYLE!)


Ohh, you got that [D]James Dean day dream look in your eye
And I got that r[G]ed lip classic thing that you like
[Bm](when we go we come back every time)
And when we go crashing down we come back every time
Cause we never go [G]out of style, we never go out of style (OUT OF STYLE!)


[Bm]So it goes he can’t keep this wild eyes [G]on the road, hmmm
[Bm]Takes me home lights are off he’s taking [G]off his coat, oh yeah
[Bm]I say I heard, oh!
That you’ve been out and about with some [G]other girl, some other girl


[Em]He says “What you heard is true but I[A]
Can’t stop thinking about you” and I[Bm]
I say “I’ve been there too a few time[G]s”


You got that [D]James Dean day dream look in your eye
And I got that [G]red lip classic thing that you like
And when we go [D]crashing down we come back every time
‘Cause we never go [G]out of style, we never go out of style (OUT OF STYLE)


You got the [D]long hair slicked back, white t-shirt
And I got that [G]good girl faith and a tight little skirt
And when we go [Bm]crashing down we come back every time
Cause we never go [G]out of style, we never go out of
Style (we never go, we never go OUT OF STYLE!))


Take me [D]home, just take me [G]home
Just take me [D]home, uh oh [G](OUT OF STYLE!)


Ohh, you got that [D]James Dean day dream look in your eye
And I got that r[G]ed lip classic thing that you like
And when we go [Bm]crashing down we come back
Every time (when we go we come back every time)
Cause we never go [G]out of style, we never go out of style (OUT OF STYLE!)
