Hey, so it's a really long story
CGD
But I've been drivin' all afternoon

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

Your photograph on my dash knows it's true

♫ Verse 2:
GCD
I've been trudgin' since 2 AM
GCD
On the side of this highway, 'cause back there when

I patched that flat, I ran on fumes
DEmGCD
And that was a bad move 'cause yeah, I ran out of gas
ADE
The heavens opened, the rain came down

Now I'm soaked to the bone, but I'm homeward bound

♫ Bridge:
BmADE
Well hey, I'd say that the real question is
DAEAm I unavoidably detained
DF#mE
Or extremely fashionably late?
DAE
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
BmAD
It just really hasn't been my day
E
But, I'm on my way
DAEAm I unavoidably detained
DF#mE
Or just unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
DAE

BmAD
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
EAADE
But I'm on my way
♫ Verse 3:
ADE
If I blew in by daybreak, I'd be in luck
ADE
I'd hand you a coffee right when you woke up
ADE
But my ETA just jumped to MIA
F#mADE
And I'm so lost, my mind is startin' to stray
F#BEF#
Let's say I fly to Kathmandu
BEF#
To show the whole world I got a lot to prove
BEF#
But all I find is all these highways wind
G#mC#mEF#
And lead back to my slice of heaven on toast
♫ Chorus:
C#mBF#C#m
Oh
would your heart kinda glow if I held your hand
BE
And I promised to stay home?
C#mBG#mF#
Hey
when I blow in that's the first thing I'll do
EBEF#
It might take me forever
EBEF#
It might take me forever
EBEF#EBF#
But I love you forever, and I can't wait to see you
