That's what I'm gonna tell Pop when I leave

If i can drive this car all on my own

I guess i'll leave my girl behind, I should have done that long ago

C                                         G  
Fifty years ago, he left his girl behind
C                                                                                                 F  
He sits there in the park one hand is strumming his guitar
C                                                              G                    C  
Songs he found inside a bottle of wine
C                                                                                         F  
I saw the same things on his face, the ones that made me race away from
C                                                                    G  
everything i'd ever really known
C                                                                 F  
the scare to take responsibility from here -and put her there-

That our hearts are just the thing right from the start

I'd tell you, "go to hell, get out of my way"
C                                                                                                              F
