Thirteen Blocks

	  		 
 

E   A 
E  A 

E 
 Stumble up the porch step 
     A 
 You sat down in the car 
      E 
 Only thirteen blocks across this town 
    A 
 To get to where you are 
 E 
 And that don’t offer me much time 
A 
 To make up my mind 
      E                  A 
 So I best be driving slow 
                         E     A 
 On my way to letting go 

       E 
 These headlights they just wanna fade 
 A 
 Off into the night 
              E 
 But if they’re half as stubborn as me 
               A 
 They’ll just keep on shining bright 
         E 
 I ain’t ever been one to settle like 
       A 
 The dust does on the dash 
               E      
 And since the feeling ain’t strong, I’ll just move on 
     B  
 And leave this in my past 

               
E                                 
 Once you're gone I know your memory'll 
B 
 Somehow get the best of me 
C#m           A              E  ( A ) 
 So I question everything I do 

E 
 Unsure of turning you away 
B 
 Wondering love how I’ll act today 
C#m         A              E 
 Until you find somebody new 

                      C#m 
 So I’ve been holding on 
         A                     E 
 Way too long, but not another minute  
                        C#m 
 I'm gonna miss you bad but 
               A                 E   ( A )  
 Can’t call it love if you ain’t in it 


 E 
 Red light turns to green 
       A 
 Then back to red again 
    E 
 I wish there were some other travelers out here 
    A 
 To slow my travelling 
E                    B          C#m 
 Even though the wheel rolled on 
            A 
 Inside I still don’t know 
E                       B 
 Oh and it troubles me so 


E                                 
 Once you're gone I know your memory'll 
B 
 Somehow get the best of me 
C#m           A              E  ( A ) 
 So I question everything I do 

E 
 Unsure of turning you away 
B 
 Wondering love how I’ll feel today 
C#m        A              E 
 I see you find somebody new 

                       C#m 
 And I’ve been holding on 
         A                     E 
 Way too long, but not another minute  
                        C#m 
 I'm might miss you bad but 
               A                 E     
 Can’t call it love if you ain’t in it 


C#m   A 
C#m   B   B 


E

      E                            A 
 Your car comes to a rest in the drive 
     E                        A 
 You open up the door and I see you smile
