(Intro.)
|(F) / (Bb) / |(F) / / / |
|(F) / (Bb) / |(F) / / / |

(Verse)
(F) Filled her up and went inside for some Gatorade and Camel Lights
(Bb)Bought the whole pack just to have (F)one
(F) I don't drink like I drank last night, hammers poundin' behind my (Bb)eyes
But I sing out loud with the radio (F)on
To a (Dm)Springs-(C)teen song (Bb) on the car (F)ride home

(Verse)
(F) Once I get out on the open road, I throw that tie out the car window
(Bb) Make damn sure I never have to see it again (F)
(F) Abandoned farms on both sides, hit the windmills, take it up to 85
(Bb) 'Cause cops 'round here are my childhood (F)friends
So let the (Dm)memories (C)come on (Bb) strong on the car (F)ride home

(Chorus)
(F) You start thinkin’, sinkin' (Bb)deep into your heart
Flippin' (Dm)pages of your (C)life so (Bb) far
(F) What have you done right, (Bb)what have you done (F)wrong?
(Dm)Where in this (C)world do you (Bb)really belong?
5 (Bb)hours to (C)go on the car ride (F) home / / (Bb)|(F) / / / |

(Verse)
I need some sleep and one more day, the impossible and a chance to say
(Bb) All the things I never got to say (F)
(F) As I flick another ash, I need an answer, so I ask
(Bb) Why the best ones get taken away? (F)
I just (Dm)left your (C) stone, (Bb) I'm on the car (F)ride home

(Chorus)
(C) You start thinkin’, sinkin' (Bb)deep into your heart
Flippin' (Dm)pages of your (C)life so (Bb) far
(C) What have you done right, (Bb)what have you done (F)wrong?
(Dm)Where in this (C)world do you (Bb)really belong?
3 (Bb)hours to (C)go on the car ride (F) home

(Solo)
|(Bb) / / / |(Dm) / / / |(Bb) / / / |(C) / /

(Break)
City (F)lights (C)in the (Bb)distance, re-(Dm)ception (C)on my (Bb) phone
It's been a (Dm)hell (C)of a (Bb)weekend and I (F)feel so a-(Bb)lone

(Chorus)
(C) I start thinkin’, sinkin' (Bb)deep into my heart
Flippin' (Dm)pages of my (C)life so (Bb) far
(C) What have I done right, (Bb)what have I done (F)wrong?
(Dm)Where in this (C)world do I (Bb)really belong?
An (Bb)hour to (C)go on the car ride (F) home / / / |(F) /
On the car (F)ride home / / / |(F) - - - - -
