Verse 1:
G6
  I got my driver’s license last week
                            Em7
Just like we always talked about

'Cause you were so excited for me
                            Cadd2
To finally drive up to your house

But today I drove through the suburbs
                           G6
Crying 'cause you weren't around


Verse 2:
G6
 And you're probably with that blonde girl

Who always made me doubt
Em7
  She's so much older than me

She's everything I'm insecure about
       Cadd2
But, today I drove through the suburbs
                                    G6
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?


Chorus:
    Cadd2
And I know we weren't perfect
                                   G6
but I've never felt this way for no one
    Cadd2
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay
         G6
now that I'm gone
      Em7         D/F#           G5           Bm    Csus2
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
       Csus2                 Dsus4               G5
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
