Tuning: G C E A, G C E A
Attempt to capture chords for the ukulele that sound more like the guitar voicings she uses:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuX1OoBjCQw
I used her live acoustic version linked above for sound comparison.
NOTE: Although she is playing Em7 (with capo on 2) in the first part of the progression following the C shape
she uses in the video, the A major rings better to my ear than an F#m would following the Dsus2 shape I have
chosen because you get the drone from open E and A strings, which I feel sounds more like the way she plays
it on guitar.

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Ceilings, p
laster
Can't you ju
st make it mov
e faster?
Lovely to be
sitting here
with you
You're kinda c
ute but it's
raining harder
My shoes are
now full of w
ater
Lovely to be
rained on wit
h you
It's kinda cut
e but it's
[Chorus]
So short
Then you're dr
iving me home
And I don't wa
nna leave
But I have to
go
You kiss me in your car
And it feels l
ike the start
of a movie
I've seen bef
ore
Before
[Verse 2]
Bed sheets,
no clothes
Touch me lik
e nobody else
does
Lovely to ju
st lay here wi
th you
You're kinda c
ute and I wou
ld say all of
this
But I don't
wanna ruin the
moment
Lovely to si
t between comf
ort and chaos
[Chorus]
But it's ove
r
Then you're dr
iving me home
And it kinda c
omes out as I
get up to go
You kiss me in your car
And it feels l
ike the start
of a movie
I've seen before
[Outro]
But it's not
real
And you don't
exist
And I can't re
call the last
time I was kis
sed
It hits me in the car
And it feels l
ike the end of
a movie
I've seen bef
ore
Before
