Intro: E 

Verse 

E 
I didn't wrap my head in roses, I didn't run screaming down the street 
           Am 
I didn't drive off jagged cliffs 
    C               E 
or dive in roaring seas 

E 
I broke no cage door open, I set no horses free 
             Am 
The day the girl at the drive-thru window 
C                 E 
Softly smiled at me 


Pre-Chorus 

B 
Actually I did nothing 
        A                      E 
as she handed me a large iced tea 
    B 
an extra packet of ketchup 
         A            E 
a small bag of onion rings 

         C#m             F# 
I didn't even smile back at her 
        A                 E 
I just pulled into the street 
C#m                     F# 
Searching my rear view mirror 
    A                 E 
To catch her eyes on me 
                   B             
'Cause there were cars behind me  
       A                  E 
and I had somewhere else to be 


Solo 
E Am C E 

Verse 

E 
Down the street I saw an old man eating as he drove 
 Am 
running over empty cans 
 C            E 
lying in the road 

E 
But the billboards near the highway were full of singing birds 
              Am 
and all the trees were blooming green 
          C                 E 
in their little squares of dirt 

      C#m                   F# 
Every dog chained in every yard 
     A            E 
was howling with me 
             C#m             F# 
But I didn't even smile back at her 
        A                 E 
I just pulled into the street 
                   B             
'Cause there were cars behind me  
       A                     E 
and I had somewhere else to be
