Intro 
     D   Em7 G D   Em7 G 
Three 


 
D 
Nothin' left to say 
              Em7        G 
We've said it all, hit a wall 
           D 
We've been dancin' 'round an elephant 
     Em7              G 
That don't fit in the car 
D 
Sunlight on your face 
      Em7          G 
Goin' dark, sky of stars 
         D 
Couldn't get my mind off how we're headin' 
Em7              G 
Towards a broken heart 
 

 
D 
Mm, mm 
       Em7               G 
Turn's comin' up way too fast 
 

 
                 D 
So I'ma take the backroads off the 109 
Em7            G 
Just wanna get lost tonight 
        D           C 
Go real slow, gonna take my time 
      Em7                       G 
While you're still fittin' your hand in mine 
    D                    C 
And Heaven knows, Heaven knows 
Em7                G 
Why it goes how it goes 
    D                C             Em7 
But if it's the last time I drive you home 
     G             D         Em7 G 
Then I'ma take the backroads 
 

 
D 
Know 'em like the back of my hand 
      Em7          G 
Every curve, every turn 
        D                C 
I'll be draggin' this forever 
             Em7            G 
Till there's no gas left to burn 
      D                C 
Wanna taste your lips, see your eyes 
Em7             G 
But I'd spend a thousand lives 
 

 
   C 
On you 
         Em7               G 
It's all comin' up way too soon 
 

 
                 D 
So I'ma take the backroads off the 109 
Em7            G 
Just wanna get lost tonight 
        D           C 
Go real slow, gonna take my time 
      Em7                       G 
While you're still fittin' your hand in mine 
    D                    C 
And Heaven knows, Heaven knows 
Em7                G 
Why it goes how it goes 
    D                C             Em7 
But if it's the last time I drive you home 
     G             D 
Then I'ma take the backroads
