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