🎸 Verse :
                   C# minorC#m           BB
See I was driving down Woodward with you in the passenger's seat
    F#F#  G#m7G#m7 F# minorF#m  F#F#
Doing 50 in my 97 Avalon
    BB              C#m7C#m7         BB
And as we drove past the Dutch Girl Donuts and the dispensary
    F#F#       G# minorG#m
You looked at me and said
 F#F#     E MajorE     F#F#
That your dad's been depressed
   BB       E MajorE
"Can we change this CD ", you said
BB
"Something a little more soulful"
   G# minorG#m     F#F#
I changed it and then you said
       BB   C#m7C#m7
You heard my last EP
BB    F#F#
You kinda liked it
    G# minorG#m   F#F#   E MajorE       F#F#
But you thought it did not sound like me

🎸 Chorus:
   E MajorE
But ooh, the car is gone
        G# minorG#m
And we both left town
    C# minorC#m   E MajorE         F#F#
But I got this funny feeling with me now
              BB    E MajorE   BB
We'll ride it again somehow


🎸 Verse :
G# minorG#m F#F#
      BB         C# minorC#m          BB
So I was speedin' up Eleven with you sittin' next to me
     F#F#         G# minorG#m F#F#   G# minorG#m   BB
Sipping Bailey's from that Colorado coffee cup
                    C#m7C#m7         BB
And then we turned past the tea house where Mary read her poetry
     F#F#          G# minorG#m
And you looked at me and said that
F#F#     E MajorE        F#F#
That you miss your college bed
    BB        E MajorE
Well ain't this fine to see?
BB
You reminiscin'
   G# minorG#m    F#F#
As if I was the one who said
            BB      C# minorC#m
"No, this feeling ain't rooted in reality"
BB          F#F#
And then you said, "Step on it"
        G# minorG#m F#F# E MajorE      F#F#
And that's the last thing you ever said to me

🎸 Chorus:
  E MajorE
But ooh, the car is gone
           G#m7G#m7
And we'll both leave home
   C# minorC#m      E MajorE       F#F#
But I got this funny feeling in my bones
                BB
We'll ride it again before you go

🎸 Verse :
G# minorG#m BB
So it was summer, maybe winter
C#m7C#m7            BB
Can't remember
I couldn't see
     F#F#      BB  G# minorG#m
Out the window of our 97 Avalon
F# minorF#m      BB         C#m7C#m7           BB
See it's been months since this engine made it on 75, you see
      F#F#
And on the phone before the crash
       E MajorE       F#F#
You said you love me but you can't
         BB
And you see you think if you say it enough times aloud
     E MajorE
You'll start to believe it
   BB        F#F#
But I've got no idea now
G# minorG#m F#F#           BB
And I'm sittin' in some cafe
    C# minorC#m           BB
All caught up about something I can't change
     F#F#
And I'm sipping that tea
    G# minorG#m   F#F#
And my memory renews
   E MajorE           F#F#
And all of a sudden I'm on Woodward sittin' next to you

🎸 Bridge:
     G+G       A augmentedA
You said our love is a fixer upper
G+G            A augmentedA   D MajorD   E MajorE
Needs new paint to hide the nicks
             BB
Keep it in second gear to start
                    G# minorG#m
And drive it slow when the road is slick
          F#F#
Steer clear of the highway
E MajorE                G+G
And maybe one more summer it'll last
  D MajorD    A augmentedA      E MajorE
Yes maybe one more summer
    F#F#
We can be young and drive it fast

🎸 Chorus:
   E MajorE
But ooh the car is gone
    F#F#    G# minorG#m
And we both left town
   C# minorC#m      E MajorE      F#F#
But I got this funny feeling with me now
  BB
Ah yeah
