Intro:

Dsus2Dsus2
I really don’t know what I’m doing here.
Gsus2Gsus2
I don’t have anything to share.
Dsus2Dsus2            Gsus2Gsus2
I guess I’m here to explain myself.
D/F#D/F#      Em11Em11
Why I went and where.
C7C7         Fsus2Fsus2
And I guess that’s fair.

Bbsus2Bbsus2 Fsus2Fsus2 C7sus4C7sus4

Verse 1:

Fsus2Fsus2
I’m only human.
Bbsus2Bbsus2
I’ve made some mistakes.
Fsus2Fsus2         Bsus2Bsus2
I don’t think I should apologize.
    C7sus4C7sus4     Bbmaj7Bbmaj7
We all make our own decisions.
           C13C13
We don’t get to make revisions.
           Bbsus2Bbsus2
I didn’t have a grand plan.
Csus4Csus4           Bbsus2Bbsus2
I don’t know why I started driving
  Csus4Csus4
Or where it all began.
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7       Am7Am7         Gm9Gm9 F/AF/A
All I know is the feeling of having to say
C7sus4C7sus4
I’m the girl who drove away.

Fsus4Fsus4 Bbsus2Bbsus2 Fsus2Fsus2

Verse 2:

C7sus4C7sus4
I have no excuse to make.
Fsus2Fsus2
How the road was calling
Bbsus2Bbsus2
Doesn’t matter at all.
Fsus2Fsus2           Bbsus2Bbsus2
How I dreamed of highways beckoning.
Csus4Csus4  C majorC     Bbsus2Bbsus2
I forgot it was an illusion.
           C13C13
It led to the wrong conclusion.
             Bbsus2Bbsus2
I thought I proved I was strong.
Csus2Csus2             Bbsus2Bbsus2
But when the highway reached the ocean,
Csus4Csus4
I realized I was wrong.
Bbmaj7Bbmaj7        Am7Am7
Standing there like a fool,
            Gm9Gm9 F/AF/A
That’s the price that I pay
C7sus4C7sus4
As the girl who drove away.

Fsus2Fsus2 Bbsus2Bbsus2 Csus4Csus4 FF

Bridge:

C7sus4C7sus4
But I still feel it:
Bbsus2Bbsus2        Csus4Csus4
The way the day blows across the sky,
F/AF/A           Csus4Csus4
And how the miles keep on flying by.
G+G           Gsus4Gsus4 G+G         E minorEm Fsus2Fsus2 C7sus4C7sus4
I swear I’d never seen this kind of deep orange sunset.
BMaj7Bmaj7         B7B7
It’s almost worth the regret.

Verse 3:

F#sus2F#sus2
I’m not complaining.
Bsus2Bsus2
I don’t have the right.
F#sus2F#sus2          B6B6
I have made my choice, I live with it,
C#sus4C#sus4    C#C#   BMaj7Bmaj7
But I don’t sleep at all now.
               C#13C#13
The leaves start to turn, it’s fall now.
            Bsus2Bsus2
I don’t know why I left home.

C#sus4C#sus4 Bsus2Bsus2

C#C#
And I no longer see
BMaj7Bmaj7        A#m7A#m7       G#m7G#m7 F/AF/A C#7sus4C#7sus4
Why a smart girl like me ever wanted to be
              Ebm11Ebm11
The girl who packed her bags,
               Fm11Fm11
And loaded her dad’s old sedan.

That desp’rate girl who ran
BMaj9Bmaj9          A#m7A#m7
From the future spelled out in her DNA
BMaj9Bmaj9       A#m7A#m7             DMaj9Dmaj9 C#sus4C#sus4
From the life she deserved, and who stands here today.
            F#sus2F#sus2
The girl who drove away.
