♫ Intro:

    C       G      D
Hey, so it's a really long story
       C      G     D
But I've been drivin' all afternoon
       C G D
(I-I-I-I-I've)
Am  G    C          D
 (Drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin')


♫ Verse 1:
     G      C  D
I've been drivin' all afternoon
       G        C    D
But I hate to say it, I won't be there soon
        G        C     D
And though I'm late, you know I just can't wait
    Em   G      C     D
To come home to my slice of heaven on toast
       G        C    D
But my Grand Prix broke down without fail
       G     C   D
Another flat tire and another nail
      G          C   D
I miss your smile but this could take a while
       Em      Am        C    D
'Cause this "Road Closed" sign says there's no way around

♫ Chorus:
 Am    G     D         Am
No, first I felt kinda sad but I said out loud
      G     D
"You know, this isn't so bad "
  Am   G      Em       E
Your photograph on my dash knows it's true
     C     G      C       D  G  C D
It might take me forever, but I can't wait to see you


♫ Verse 2:
     G       C D
I've been trudgin' since 2 AM
          G        C     D
On the side of this highway, 'cause back there when
        G       C
I patched that flat, I ran on fumes
  D     Em    G       C     D
And that was a bad move 'cause yeah, I ran out of gas
      A      D     E
The heavens opened, the rain came down
           A       D    E
Now I'm soaked to the bone, but I'm homeward bound
        A        D    E
So I just don't care how much I have to bear
       F#m   Bm     D       E
'Cause you'll be there when I walk in through the door


♫ Chorus:
 Bm     A      E          Bm
So down this road I will run and only stop to buy you
   A      E
A bouquet for no reason
  Bm      A     F#m     D
Hey, it's kinda crazy what daisies can do
     D     A      D       E  D  A E
It might take me forever, but I can't wait to see you

♫ Bridge:
Bm    A   D      E
 Well hey, I'd say that the real question is
D    A     E
Am I unavoidably detained
          D     F#m E
Or extremely fashionably late?
D          A         E
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
              Bm A D
It just really hasn't been my day
     E
But, I'm on my way
D    A     E
Am I unavoidably detained
           D        F#m  E
Or just unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
D          A         E
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
            Bm       A D
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
    E   A A D E
But I'm on my way


♫ Verse 3:
        A       D   E
If I blew in by daybreak, I'd be in luck
        A         D    E
I'd hand you a coffee right when you woke up
     A   D      E
But my ETA just jumped to MIA
    F#m  A      D      E
And I'm so lost, my mind is startin' to stray
F#     B   E   F#
Let's say I fly to Kathmandu
         B       E   F#
To show the whole world I got a lot to prove
     B         E    F#
But all I find is all these highways wind
     G#m  C#m      E     F#
And lead back to my slice of heaven on toast


♫ Chorus:
 C#m      B      F#         C#m
Oh
would your heart kinda glow if I held your hand
   B      E
And I promised to stay home?
  C#m    B         G#m       F#
Hey
when I blow in that's the first thing I'll do
     E     B  E F#
It might take me forever
     E     B  E F#
It might take me forever
   E      B      E       F# E  B F#
But I love you forever, and I can't wait to see you


♫ Post-Chorus:
  E B F#
Yeah

C#m B E F#
E B F#
E B F#
E B F#


♫ Bridge:
C#m    B   E      F#
  Woo! Hey, I'd say that the real question is
E    B     F#
Am I unavoidably detained
          E     G#m D
Or extremely fashionably late?
E          B         F#
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
              C#m B E
It just really hasn't been my day
     F#
But, I'm on my way
E    B     F#
Am I unavoidably detained
           E        G#m  F#
Or just unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
E          B         F#
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
            C#m      B E
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
    F#   B
But I'm on my way, yeah


♫ Outro:
     B      E  F#
I've been drivin' all afternoon
  G#m    B        E    F#
But I hate to say it, I won't be there soon
