Intro 



or play each chord once 

                         E 
You drove me all the way up here 
                                   G#m 
 cause you could tell that I was a mess 
                              A 
 I wasn't going to make it to dinner

verse 1 

                        E 
I circled the airport a hundred times 
      A                 B                 A  B 
 and tried to hide the fact that I was crying 
                  A 
 I came in on the red eye 
                        B 
 That's why I look like this 
                             E 
 There comes a day when you rectify 
 A                B                 C#m   B 
 who you are with who you want to be with 
     A                           B 
 And I can't make the two things co-exist 


Pre-Chorus 

    A            B 
 So don't let me cave in 

                        E 
You drove me all the way up here 
                                   G#m 
 cause you could tell that I was a mess 
                              A 
 I wasn't going to make it to dinner 
                             F#    A 
 And I shouldn't be calling again 
                          E 
 You drove me all the way up here 
                               G#m 
 And asked if we could stay in bed 
                               A 
 You still got work early tomorrow 
                           F#m 
 and I've got a plane to catch 
      E 
 You drove me all the way back

verse 2 

                            E 
I spent last night getting Mexican 
             A             B                    C#m 
 Outside of Logan Square basement show with Evan 
  B             A 
 Chicago looked desperate 
                    B 
 But maybe that was me 
                  E          A 
 I couldn't help thinking of watching 
     B              C#m        B    E 
 the Sears Tower collapse as a kid 
            A               E 
 I feel like I might do the same thing 


Pre-Chorus 

    A                      B 
 So don't let it happen to me 
    A                             B 
 No don't, don't let it happen to me 
 (Don't let it happen to me) 

                        E 
You drove me all the way up here 
                                   G#m 
 cause you could tell that I was a mess 
                              A 
 I wasn't going to make it to dinner 
                             F#    A 
 And I shouldn't be calling again 
                          E 
 You drove me all the way up here 
                               G#m 
 And asked if we could stay in bed 
                               A 
 You still got work early tomorrow 
                           F#m 
 and I've got a plane to catch 
      A 
 You drove me all the way back 



Bridge 

F#m                A 
I tried to make a life in the Midwest 
E                  B 
 but the rust belt keeps breaking promises 
F#m               E                 E 
 I can't seem to find out where my footing is 
 A 
 So don't (don't don't don't) 
B            E 
 let (don't let me cave in) 
              A 
 Don't let me cave in 
                     B 
 (don't let me cave in) 

                        E 
You drove me all the way up here 
                                   G#m 
 cause you could tell that I was a mess 
                              A 
 I wasn't going to make it to dinner 
                             F#    A 
 And I shouldn't be calling again 
                          E 
 You drove me all the way up here 
                               G#m 
 And asked if we could stay in bed 
                               A

                           F#m 
 and I've got a plane to catch 
      E 
 You drove me all the way back
