G+G D MajorD
Halfway Home
G+G D MajorD
Well, You ain't so sure He's the one
E minorEm
4am and You drive alone
| G+G | C/GC/G | G+G | C/GC/G |
With last night's clothes on
G+G D MajorD
Halfway home
G+G D MajorD
Tell Yourself You're still strong
E minorEm
Wondering what's so damn wrong
| G+G | C/GC/G | G+G | C/GC/G |
With needing someone
G+G
Calling the lovelorn girls of -
D MajorD
Davidson County
E minorEm
Tired of the games -
| G+G | C/GC/G | G+G | C/GC/G |
That the boys up there play
G+G
Calling the dreaming girls
D MajorD
Looking for a savior
E minorEm
He ain't gonna save You
| G+G | G+G | D MajorD | D MajorD |
That's just what You think His eyes say
C majorC
Deep down You know
G+G
That You're worth more than this
D MajorD G+G
Or the cost of that dinner last night
C majorC
He'd be driving You home
G+G
If He was worth half a shit
D MajorD G+G
And His Daddy had raised Him up right
E minorEm
Let Me remind You
D MajorD | C majorC ..
There's real love out there down the road
.. | C majorC | C majorC | C majorC |
Right now You're just -
G+G D MajorD
Halfway home
G+G D MajorD
Making up reasons why
E minorEm
Let Him sleep through the kiss goodbye
| G+G | C/GC/G | G+G | C/GC/G |
'Cause neither one of You care
G+G D MajorD
So rinse the smoke
G+G D MajorD
Out of Your slept in hair
E minorEm
Wash Your face and change those clothes
| G+G | C/GC/G | G+G | C/GC/G |
We've all been there
G+G
Calling the lovelorn girls of -
D MajorD
Davidson County
E minorEm
Tired of the games -
G+G
That the boys up there play
G+G
Calling the dreaming girls
D MajorD
Looking for a savior
