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