This can be played strummed but sounds nice with just about any finger-picking pattern.
These are the chords in standard tuning, I believe he plays with a capo on the second
fret. After each verse he stops his finger-picking and plays a tiny pattern (I'll call it "riff")-

[G]Rolled on out of [B]Motown [C]back in '9[G]1

[G]Left them bitter [Em]winters for the [D7]Florida summer [D]sun

[G]Breakin' hearts in [G7]theme parks

[C] G ([Cm]riff)[G][D7]
Smiled for anyone who held a camera to my face and said "Say cheese!"

[G]Wound up on the [B]telly With a [C]twinkle in my [G]eye

[G]Twinkle disa[Em]ppeared the night I s[D7]tarted gettin' [D]high

[G]And everything seemed [G7]so absurd

[C]Until the night I f[Cm]inally heard the [G]sound of Coltrane

D7 G (riff)
It brought me to my knees


CHORUS
There's a [D]long drive straight through the [C]night

Starin' out the [G]window Lookin' for the [D7]first signs of daylight

Just[G] hold on tight With [C]all of your might

G D7 G (riff)
See it takes the time it takes to get it right


So I [G]peddled across the [B]country Wound up [C]here in Holly[G]wood

[G]Left my high school [Em]sweetheart when I [D7]realized I [D]could

[G]She became a [G7]movie star

D7 [C] G (ri[Cm]ff)[G]
I've took to sleepin' in my car Still singin' songs about her to this day

[G]Drove myself to [B]New York City [C]Chasin' love [G]again

[G]She moved me to [Em]tears and then I [D7]wound up movin' [D]in

[G]That Apple got the [G7]best of me

D7 [C] G (rif[Cm]f)[G]
So I packed up the rest of me And I grabbed a cab, said "Straight to JFK!"


CHORUS
There's a [D]long drive straight through the [C]night

Starin' out the [G]window Lookin' for the [D7]first signs of daylight

Just [G]hold on tight With [C]all of your might

G D7 G (riff)
See it takes the time it takes to get it right


[G]Now I'm back in [B]Hollywood This [C]guitar in my [G]hand

These [G]days I'm only [Em]using words that [D7]I can under[D]stand

[G]Singin' songs, I'll [G7]carry on

[C] G (riff)[Cm][G][D7]
Keep at it until I'm dead and gone Then maybe my gravestone will say


CHORUS
There's a [D]long drive straight through the [C]night

Starin' out the [G]window Lookin' for the [D7]first signs of daylight

Just [G]hold on tight With [C]all of your might

G D7 G (riff)
See it takes the time it takes to get it right

See it [G]takes the time it [D7]takes to get it [G]right (Third time's the charm)

G D7 G (riff)
They say it takes the time it takes to get it right


First tab, so feel free to let me know if I made any mistakes!
