Automatic chords by Miranda Lambert

Chords with lyrics

Capo 5

Intro: C majorC FF A minorAm FF x2

C majorC
Quarter in a payphone

Drying laundry on the line
     Bb majorBb
Watching sun tea in the window
    FF
Pocket watch for telling time


C majorC
Seems like only yesterday

I'd get a blank cassette
  Bb majorBb
Record the Country Countdown
    FF
'Cos I couldn't buy it yet

C majorC FF

      C majorC
If we drove all the way to Dallas

Just to buy an Easter dress
      Bb majorBb
We'd take along a Rand McNally
     FF
Stand in line to pay for gas

  C majorC
God knows that shifting gears

Ain't what it used to be
       Bb majorBb
I learned to drive that '55
      FF
Just like a Queen three on the trip

C majorC            FF
Hey whatever happened to
        A minorAm
Waiting your turn
      FF
Doing it all by hand
     C majorC             FF
'Cos when everything is handed to you
      A minorAm          FF
It's only worth as much as the time you put in
  Bb majorBb                 FF
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Bb majorBb            FF     C majorC
Back before everything became, Automatic

FF A minorAm FF

  C majorC
If you had something to say
You'd write in on a piece of paper
     Bb majorBb
And you'd put a stamp on it
      FF
And they'd get it three days later

C majorC
Boys would call the girls

And girls would turn them down
    Bb majorBb
Staying married was the only way
  FF
To work your problems out

C majorC            FF
Hey whatever happened to
        A minorAm
Waiting your turn
      FF
Doing it all by hand
     C majorC             FF
'Cos when everything is handed to you
      A minorAm          FF
It's only worth as much as the time you put in
  Bb majorBb                 FF
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Bb majorBb            FF     C majorC    FF
A minorAm FF
Back before everything became, Automatic, yeah
  C majorC   FF A minorAm FF
Automatic

    C majorC
Lets's roll the windows down

Windows with the cranks
   Bb majorBb
Come on let's take a picture
  FF
The kind you gotta shake

C majorC            FF
Hey whatever happened to
        A minorAm
Waiting your turn
      FF
Doing it all by hand
     C majorC             FF
'Cos when everything is handed to you
      A minorAm          FF
It's only worth as much as the time you put in
  Bb majorBb                 FF
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Bb majorBb            FF     C majorC  FF
A minorAm FF
Back before everything became, Automatic, yeah
  C majorC
Automatic
