Intro E  A2  Dbm  B4 



        E                                     A2 
She was leanin' on a rail in a cotton dress, summer tanned pretty 

Little perfect mess 
       Dbm                                B4 
With a story that could only be anybody's guess 
          E 
And I was thinkin' that I probably didn't stand a chance, but I 
A2 
Rolled up my sleeves, walked up and I said 
    Dbm                           B4           A2     B4 
Hey no, I don't know you, but I'd kinda like a shot 
             Dbm                      B4 
She said, I saw you comin' over, I already thought it over and 
A2         B4 
Ok, so now what 



                 E                                           A2 
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something at least 

It's a start, I said it's better than nothing 
  Dbm                                      B4 
I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are 
              E                                       A2 
And she said, where do you think all this is goin', I said, there 

Ain't no way of knowin' 
  Dbm            B4                     A2 
I guess I hadn't thought it through that far 
B4           E 
But I got a car 



       E                                            A2 
So, we let the wheels turn and the windows down, we let ourselves 

Go all the way through town 
    Dbm                                   B4 
She never said stop and I never asked her why 
         E                                                 A2 
We drove into the night, when outta nowhere, she said, I'd give 

Anything to never go back there 
      Dbm             B4              A2 
And I kinda wish this day would never end 
          Dbm                      B4 
She said, I could use a change but I don't even know where to 
A2        B4 
Begin 


                 E                                           A2 
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something at least 

It's a start, I said it's better than nothing 
  Dbm                                      B4 
I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are 
              E                                       A2 
And she said, where do you think all this is goin', I said, there 

Ain't no way of knowin' 
  Dbm           B4                      A2      B4 
I really hadn't thought it through that far 
      Dbm                   B4       A2 
And I can't promise you the moon and stars 
B4           E 
But I got a car 

 B4  E 3x 



       A2 
We got lost in the miles, lost track of the days 
        E 
'Til we, finally found a stoppin' place 
         Dbm                B4                     A2 
When the doctor's said, you know what's on the way? 

And we found ourselves in a little white house 
    E 
One, Sunday morning rain pourin' down 
             Dbm                Bsus4             Asus2   Basus4 
She said, I think it's time But all the lines are out 
        Dbm                B4                A2          B4  
And her eyes teared up and she said What are we gonna do now? 

Final

                 E 
And I said, well I got a car She said, there's something 
    A2 
You think it'll start? I said it's already runnin' 
         Dbm                                       B4 
Got your things in the back and I'm ready when you are 
                   E 
She said, are you sure it'll get us where we're goin'? 
   A2                                     Dbm 
I said, if there's one thing I know girl 
     B4             A2      B4 
It's gotten us this far 
      Dbm                 B4                     A2 
And I don't mean to hurry but I'm ready when you are
