Intro: A#FD#
Verse:
A#
Letʼs drive for no reason, letʼs see where these wheels land
D#
Letʼs grind down the curve of this earth
GmFD#
You look fine in the evening, and, honey, itʼs starting to storm
A#F
When we kissed in the car in the school parking lot
D#
Where Iʼd Go with my friends to get drunk
GmFD#
Used to wish I meant anything to anywhere, to anyone
Pre-chorus:
A#FD#
When forever was a sentence, sentence to death
GmFD#
Oh, when you were a running tear, I was a drop of sweat
A#FD#
And, the edges of your soul, I havenʼt seen yet
GmFD#
Now Iʼm glad I get forever to see where you went
Chorus:
D#F
I wonʼt be alone for the rest of my life
GmF
Iʼll build a boat for when the river gets high
D#F
And Iʼll meet a girl in the heat of July
GmFD#A#
And Iʼll tell her so she knows, that Iʼm broke, but Iʼm real rich in my head
GmF
That I broke a bone that never healed in my hand
Cm
So, when I hold her close
GmA#
I might loosen my grip, but I wonʼt ever let her go
I wonʼt ever let her go
Post-chorus:
A#
Woo.
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Verse:
A#
Remember when we called the cops
Gm
ʼCause I got too high, and you got scared
A#
And the cops just laughed?
We canʼt make rent, so we window-shop
Gm
In the Upper West Side, oh, my God
A#
Could you imagine that?
Chorus:
D#A#
I wonʼt be alone for the rest of my life
Gm
Iʼll build a boat for when the river gets high
D#
And Iʼll meet a girl in the heat of July
Gm
And Iʼll tell her so she knows,
D#A#
That Iʼm broke, but Iʼm real rich in my head
Gm
That I broke a bone that never healed in my hand
D#
So, when I hold her close
A#F
I might loosen my grip, but I wonʼt ever let her go
F
I wonʼt ever let her go
Outro:
A#FD#
When forever was a sentence, sentence to death
GmFD#
Oh, when you were a running tear, I was a drop of sweat
A#FD#
And, the edges of your soul, I havenʼt seen yet
GmFD#
Now Iʼm glad I get forever to see where you went
To see where you went
