Interstate

 
             C 
Grew up believing Id never make out of this town 
Fmaj7                                     Am7 
alive, Id never see a tear in my fathers eyes 
                                                Fmaj7 
Those boys will beat me down until Im blue and dry 
 

 
          C 
I grew up dreaming that I would be something my father 
      Fmaj7 
would believe in Id come so far hed ask why I was 
  Am7                             Fmaj7 
leaving, Id hope we wouldnt split apart 
 

 
               Am7 
You say I wont survive 
               G     C 
you said Ive lost my head 
                     Fmaj7 
but Im not standing still until Im shaking hands with death 
              Am7                     G        C 
And oh I still recall the last thing that you said 
                    Fmaj7 
And all thats left now is your faded silhouette 
 

 
                        C 
And I wanna move interstate 
                                         Fmaj7 
And find what ive been searching for my whole damn life 
                    Am7 
love a girl ill make her my wife 
                                         Fmaj7 
and I hope she loves her mama like i love mine

               G      C 
Ill be back to you on Christmas 
                      Fmaj7 
But i saw the ocean rising And I just dont wanna drown 
 

 
                 Am7 
You say I wont survive 
               G      C

                    Fmaj7

               Am7                  G         C 
And oh I still recall the last thing that you said 
                Fmaj7

                     C 
And I wanna move interstate 
                                       Fmaj7

                      C 
And I wanna feel my heart hurt 
                                     Fmaj7 
Cause I could never love any girl that isnt her 
                            Am7 
And baby you know id rather die than turn 
                                      Fmaj7 
I wanna hear you say id love you either way 
 

 
        Am7 
But my sisters home and 
     G       C     Fmaj7 
the dogs are in the yard 
       Am7 
And I say goodbye 
         G    C         Fmaj7 
to the boy that I once was 
 

 
                        C 
And I wanna move interstate 
                                          Fmaj7 
And find what ive been searching for my whole damn life 
                      Am7

                                        Fmaj7 
and I hope she loves her mama like i love mine
