Verse 1:
C/G* G G6sus2 G
I called you
C/G C6sus2/G Csus2/G
But I'd run outta words
C/G D Dsus4 D
So I stared at the plastic
C/G G G6sus2 Gsus2 G
Collidin' with dirt
C/G* G G6sus2 G
At the fast food
C/G C6sus2/G Csus2/G
Sign out 'n' left
C/G D Dsus4 D
I prepared for the warfare
C/G G G6sus2 Gsus2 G
With the voice in my head
Pre-Chorus:
Em G C/G
And I thought it was strange, how the letters were placed
Em G C/G
How the "Hiring" sign seemed to laugh in my face
Em G C/G
And if you were here, you'd make a joke of it
Em G C/G
I'm alone, gettin' lost in the scope of it
N.C.
Then I see you drive in
Chorus:
N.C. G C/G G
And your love is like an open flame
Em C/G G
I'm a running car and you're a closed garage
G C/G G
Someone once told us there's a world out thеre
Em C/G G
But we don't care enough to drive that far
G C/G G
It's been a damn near-perfect day
Em C/G G
Just gettin' high at the outlet mall
G C/G G
But people grow up and move away
Em C/G G
But you don't care, and I don't mind at all
[Interlude]
G
Verse 2:
G C/G G
I got the car, you've got the bag
D G G/F#
A handwritten note left from Mom and Dad
C/G
A police scanner bouncin' on the dash
D G
A cup of burnt coffee and a check to cash
C/G G
I had the brains for that city job
D G G/F#
But you got the taste of a county cop
C/G
A pack of cigarettes and a round of golf
D G
Make a livin' working for the paid time off
Pre-Chorus:
Em G
Such simple lines
C/G
They drew to make this place
Em G
In the interest of time
C/G
We got a whole lot to waste
Chorus:
G C/G G
And your love is like an open flame
Em C/G G
I'm a runnin' car and you're a closed garage
G C/G G
Someone once said there's a world out thеre
Em C/G G
We don't care enough to drive that far
G C/G G
It's been a damn near-perfect day
Em C/G G
Just gettin' high at the outlet mall
G C/G G
But people grow up and move away
Em C/G G
But you don't care, and I don't mind at all
Post-Chorus:
Em C/G G
But you don't care, and I don't mind at all
