Intro.:  |(D) |(G) |(Bm) |(A) 

(Verse 1)
She was (D)leanin' on a rail in a cotton dress, (G)summer tanned pretty little perfect mess
With a (Bm)story that could only be anybody's (A)guess
And I was (D)thinkin' that I probably didn't stand a chance, but I (G)rolled up my sleeves, walked up and I said
Hey (Bm)no, I don't know you, but I'd (A)kinda like a (G)shot (A)
She said, I (Bm)saw you comin' over, I al-(A)ready thought it over and (G)ok, so now (A)what

(Chorus)
And I said, well (D)I got a car, she said, there's something at (G)least it's a start, I said it's better than nothing
I (Bm)ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you (A)are
And she said, (D)where do you think all this is goin', (G)I said, there ain't no way of knowin'
I (Bm)guess I hadn't (A)thought it through that (G)far, (A) but I got a (D)car

(Verse 2)
So, we (D)let the wheels turn and the windows down, we (G)let ourselves go all the way through town
She (Bm)never said stop and I never asked her (A)why
We drove (D)into the night, when outta nowhere, she said, I'd (G)give anything to never go back there
And I (Bm)kinda wish this (A)day would never end (G) (A)
She said, (Bm)I could use a change but (A)I don't even (G)know where to be-(A)gin

(Chorus)
And I said, well (D)I got a car, she said, there's something at (G)least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothing
I (Bm)ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you (A)are
And she said, (D)where do you think all this is goin', (G)I said, there ain't no way of knowin'
I (Bm)really hadn't (A)thought it through that (G)far (A)
And (Bm)I can't promise (A)you the moon and (G)stars, (A) but I got a car |(A)(D)(A)(D)(A)(D) |

(Bridge)
We got (G)lost in the miles, lost track of the days, 'til we (D) finally found a stoppin' place
When the (Bm)doctor's said, you (A)know what's on the way? (G)
And we found ourselves in a little white house, one (D) Sunday morning, rain pourin' down
She (Bm)said, I think it's (A)time but (G)all the lines are out (A)
And her (Bm)eyes teared up and (A)she said, what are (G)we gonna do (A)now?

(Chorus)
And I said, well (D)I got a car, she said, there's something, you (G)think it'll start, I said, it's already runninf
Got your (Bm)things in the back and I'm ready when you (A)are
She said, are you (D)sure it'll get us where we're goin'? (G)I said, if there's one thing I know girl
(Bm) It's (A)gotten us this (G)far (A)
And I (Bm)don't mean to hurry but I'm (A)ready when you (G)are
