[E] [A]
[E] [C#m] [B]
[E] She was leaning on a rail in a cotton dress,
[A] Some pretend pretty little perfect mess,
[C#m] With a story that could only be [B] anybody's guess.
[E] I was thinking that I probably didn't stand a chance,
[A] But I rolled up my sleeves, [A] walked up and [C#m] I said,
I don't know you, [B] but I kinda like [A] a shot.
[B] She [C#m] said, I saw you coming over, [B] I already thought it over [A] and okay,
So [B] now what?
I [E] said, well I got a car, she said, there's something,
[A] At least it's a start, I said, it's better [C#m] than nothing,
I ain't in no hurry, but I'm ready when [B] you are.
[E] She said, where do you think all this is going?
[A] I said, there ain't [E] no way of knowing,
[C#m] I guess I [B] hadn't thought it through [A] that far,
[B] But I [E] got a car.
So we let the wheels turn and the windows down,
[A] We let ourselves go all the way [B] through town,
[C#m] She never said stop, and I [F#] never [B] asked her why.
[E] We drove into the night, went out of nowhere,
She [A] said, I'd give anything to [E] never go back there,
[C#m] And I kinda wish [B] this day would never [A] end.
[E] She [C#m] said, I could use a change, [B] but I don't [A] even know where to [B] begin.
I [E] said, well I got a car, she said, there's something,
[A] At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothing,
[C#m] I ain't in no hurry, but I'm ready when [B] you are.
[E] She said, where do you think all this is going?
[A] I said, there ain't no way [E] of knowing,
[C#m] I really [B] hadn't thought it through [A] that far,
[B] [C#m] And I can't [B] promise you the moon [A] and stars,
[B] But I [E] got a car.
[A] We got lost in the miles, lost track of the days,
[E] Till we finally found a stopping place,
[C#m] When the doctor said, [B] you know what's on [A] the way.
And we found ourselves in a little white house,
[E] One Sunday morning, rain pouring down,
[C#m] She said, I think [B] it's time, [A] but all the lines [B] are out,
[C#m]
And her eyes teared up, [B] and she said, what [A] are we gonna [B] do now?
And I [E] said, well I got a car, she said, there's something,
[A] You think it'll start, I said, it's already running,
[C#m] Got your things in the back, [C#] and I'm ready when [B] you are.
She said, [E] are you sure it'll get us where we're going?
[A] I said, if there's one thing [C#m] I know, girl,
[B] It's gotten us [A] this far,
[B] [C#m] And I don't mean to hurry, [B] but I'm ready when [A] you are.
