Verse 1:
FF              G+G
In the back of my Pontiac I taught you how to feel it
FF
Pulled it out of your throat
  G minorGm
You choked


           A#A#
You looked at me like you had seen a ghost
FF
Told me 'bout your mom
           G+G
How she gets a little strung out on the weekends
FF
Had to be the man
               G+G       A#A#
Put your foot down before you grew into your hands

Verse 2:
FF
They tremble now, underneath mine
G+G
Say it softly
Fmag7         G+G
You got all the time
FF
When I drive you home I'll take the long way
G+G               FF
Park the car, finish the song, watch you go inside
     A minorAm          FF
Hope you find a good place to hide

Verse 3:
FF
Skipped the last half of the day
G+G
Cuttin' class to listen to Clapton
FF         G+G      G minorGm
On my stereo that crunches all the bass

You said Layla was the most beautiful work of art
    FF              G+G        E minorEm    FF
At the end the guitar says more than words could even begin to start

Bridge:
    A minorAm
All you wrote me were instrumentals
     G+G
All your love spelled in piano
     FF        F minorFm
Would you say it to me out loud?
      FF
Don't wanna force your hand
       G+G
I just wanna understand you
FF
All the words you couldn't say to me
G+G              FF
I know why it had to be that way

Outro:
G+G     FF
 When the car broke down in 2018
G+G               A minorAm
I took our love with it to the junkyard
FF
I could sell it for parts now
F minorFm
But I won't
