Verse 1:
C
It happened on a cold dark December night
Fmaj7
She looked at me with stars in her eyes
C
Told me that I'm not the only one
Fmaj7
Knew right then that it was done
C
(She) Said "I know, I'm sorry"
"Didn't mean for it to happen"
Fmaj7
"Didn't wanna tell you just look at your reaction"
Pre-Chorus:
Em
Stuck between it all with the walls falling down
Am
Now it's someone elses story with me not around
Chorus:
Fmaj7 C
If I would have known I'd leave that night alone
Em
Drivin home in the cold
Am
there's no right song for this road
Fmaj7 C
Party with friends, shared some drinks spilled some rum
Em Am
Sittin round the campfire laughin, havin fun
Fmaj7 C
Up and left me with no cares but her own
Em Am
Whiskey disguises my lack of surprise
but it's gettin old
[Instrumental]

Verse 3:
C
Work days pass wtih bitter winter whisks
Fmaj7
While a special someone I knew I'd miss
C
Invited to go to a party out of town
Fmaj7
Had a plan for us to spend some time past sundown
C
Friends drank and danced as I hoped to romance
Fmaj7
But you had your mind to get someone else alone
Em
Hard for me to play dumb and prenend
Am
But you had your way up until the end
Chorus:
Fmaj7 C
If I would have known I'd leave that night alone
Em
Drivin home in the cold
Am
there's no right song for this road
Fmaj7 C
Party with friends, shared some drinks spilled some rum
Em Am
Sittin round the campfire laughin, havin fun
Fmaj7 C
Up and left me with no cares but her own
Em Am
Whiskey disguises my lack of surprise
but it's gettin old
