Chords with lyrics
Capo on 2nd fret
G+G C majorC
We were burning in a '94 Corolla,
G+G C majorC
3 hours deep into South Dakota.
G+G C majorC
I was workin' on a lukewarm Coca-Cola
G+G C majorC
In the dog days of July.
G+G C majorC
And my dad was a Superman stick shift driver,
G+G C majorC
Stay at home Lois Lane beside him,
G+G C majorC
Kissing to the rhythm of the billboard signs,
G+G C majorC
As they went blurring by.
E minorEm
And even when he would stop to pull over,
D MajorD
He never took his hand off of her shoulder...
C majorC G+G
You can see for miles,
E minorEm
You can reach the dials,
D MajorD
Sit back and smile from the front seat.
C majorC G+G
You can chase the sun,
E minorEm D MajorD
You can feel the hum of the axles underneath your feet.
C majorC G+G
When you're sitting shotgun,
E minorEm D MajorD
You're sitting pretty and free.
C majorC D MajorD G+G
But you learn to love from the backseat.
( C majorC G+G C majorC )
G+G C majorC
So late one day and I'm rolling along,
G+G C majorC
With a part time job and blue pom-poms,
G+G C majorC
Like every day's a knock off Mellencamp song,
G+G C majorC
With his hand right on my knee.
G+G C majorC
We made the age old prom night promise,
G+G C majorC
Put the corsage right where I want it.
G+G C majorC
And we found a road with nobody on it,
G+G C majorC
And we didn't stop to think.
E minorEm
And I didn't care when he killed the motor,
D MajorD
Shut off the lights and we climbed over.
C majorC G+G
You can see for miles,
E minorEm
You can reach the dials,
D MajorD
Sit back and smile from the front seat.
C majorC G+G
You can chase the sun,
E minorEm D MajorD
You can feel the hum of the axles underneath your feet.
C majorC G+G
When you're sitting shotgun,
E minorEm D MajorD
You're sitting pretty and free.
C majorC D MajorD C majorC
But you learn to love from the backseat.
( E minorEm D MajorD )
C majorC
Up here I see it clear through the rear-view
D MajorD
It's good to take the back seat
C majorC D MajorD
When you get to
C majorC G+G
You can see for miles,
E minorEm
You can reach the dials,
D MajorD
Sit back and smile from the front seat.
C majorC G+G
You can chase the sun,
E minorEm D MajorD
You can feel the hum of the axles underneath your feet.
C majorC G+G
When you're sitting shotgun,
E minorEm D MajorD
You're sitting pretty and free.
C majorC D MajorD
But you learn to love...
C majorC G+G
You can see for miles,
E minorEm
You can reach the dials,
D MajorD
Sit back and smile from the front seat.
C majorC G+G
You can chase the sun,

You can feel the hum of the axles underneath your feet.
C majorC G+G
When you're sitting shotgun,
E minorEm D MajorD
You're sitting pretty and free.

But you learn to love from the backseat.
