The lyrics are:

I hope he never lets me down again
Dm C
He knows where he~s taking me

Taking me where I want to be

Riff 2: Dm C G riff
Cm Bb
We~re flying high
Gm F
We~re watching the world pass us by
Cm Bb
Never want to come down
Gm F
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
Riff 1: Dm C F D#
Dm C G riff
I~m taking a ride with my best friend
Dm C G riff
I hope he never lets me down again
Dm C

Gm Bb
As long as I remember who~s wearing the trousers
Dm C G riff
I hope he never lets me down again
Riff 2: Dm C G riff
Cm Bb
We~re flying high
Gm F
We~re watching the world pass us by
Cm Bb

Dm C A Gm
Dm C

A Gm

Dm C

A Gm

Dm C

A Gm
Everything is alright tonight...
For playing guitar, I highly suggest you to play the ending chords in this
manner, as it does add gloom to the song:
Dm C A Gm
E|-5--|-x--|-5--|-6--|
B|-6--|-5--|-5--|-8--|
G|-7--|-5--|-6--|-7--|
D|-7--|-5--|-7--|-5--|
A|-5--|-3--|-7--|----|
E|----|----|-5--|----|
And that is it.
