See I was driving down Woodward with you in the passenger's seat
       F#    G#m7 F#m    F#
Doing 50 in my 97 Avalon
        B                            C#m7                 B
And as we drove past the Dutch Girl Donuts and the dispensary
       F#             G#m
You looked at me and said
 F#         E          F#
That your dad's been depressed
      B              E
"Can we change this CD ", you said
B

"Something a little more soulful"
     G#m         F#
I changed it and then you said
              B     C#m7
You heard my last EP
B        F#
You kinda liked it
       G#m     F#      E              F#
But you thought it did not sound like me

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



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

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



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

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

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

🎸 Outro:
