A# C4
If I wanted to know who you were hanging with
C4
While I was gone, I would have asked you
A# C4
It' s the kind of cold, fogs up windshield glass
C4
But I felt it when I passed you
A# C4
There' s an ache in you, put there by the ache in me
A#
But if it' s all the same to you
C4
It' s the same to me
F
So we could call it even
F
You could call me "babe" for the weekend
Dm
' Tis the damn season, write this down
Dm
I' m stayin' at my parents' house
Dm
And the road not taken looks real good now
C C4 C C4
And it always leads to you in my hometown
A# C4
I parkеd my car right between the Methodist
C4
And thе school that used to be ours
A# C4
The holidays linger like bad perfume

You can run, but only so far

Sleep in half the day just for old times' sake

I won' t ask you to wait if you don' t ask me to stay

Who' ll write books about me, if I ever make it
Dm
And wonder about the only soul
Dm
Who can tell which smiles I' m fakin&rsquo
C C4 C C4
