Intro:
D  Em  G  A  (x2)


Verse 1:
D               Em
Driving in your car
         G
With the windows down
        A
And the beat up stereo
D                  Em
Struggle with this town
        G
Cuz you love to hate it
    A
And hate to let it go

    D           Em
And we're all alone
       G
And so tired of being
A
Underrated
   D             Em
So don't take me home
         G
'Cause I feel alive
         A
When you come and save me

  Bm
A yellow car
                  A
Speeding down the Southside freeway
        Em
We'll rewrite this movie
D                   G
Make it end like we want it to


Chorus:
    G
And Casey
         A
When you go
        Bm
Can you come and find me
      D
Wanna be beside you
         G               A
When you leave this town
          Bm
I've been waving goodbye
           D
Pretending not to cry
          G          A
I want to be someone
       Bm
If you take me away
        D
All the pain will change
       G         A
Into a memory...
                D
Of when we were amazing


Em  G


Verse 2:
D               Em
Nineteen Eighty Nine
G
Summer had hit
       A
But it was not moving
D                    Em
What is it with this town?
G
Every time we win
        A
It just feels like losing
D                       Em
We were never gonna fit in
        G
I was a mixed up kid
        A
And you were my sanity

     Bm
In a yellow car
              A
We don't even have to go far
            Em
'Cause that song you're playing
D                        G
Sounds like peace on the radio

When you leave this town
          Bm
I've been waving goodbye
           D
Pretending not to cry
          G          A
I want to be someone
       Bm
If you take me away

All the pain will change
