G          
After the breakup,

                       D          
I really thought we'd make up.

                   Em                          
Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind

                    C          
And suddenly she'd wake up.

                  G         
But today if you listen,

                   D           
Softly off in the distance,

                  Em                              
Somewhere 'cross town, you can hear the sound

                  C          
Of wedding bells ringing.

C                            
And there's bird seed on the concrete,

     G                  D     
And she's waving goodbye


                     C      
And they're driving away

     G                         D                     C       
And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade

      G              D       
Yeah she's really gone,

               C     D            D7       
I thought someday that would be me

                       G                   D      
But now she's driving away in that limousine

                 C    
And I'm holdin' on

        D               G        
Like a tin can on a string.


              G          
Somewhere in my mind,

                D           
I'm the one by her side.

             Em                               
In that backseat, talkin' 'bout the beach

                   C          
And that honeymoon flight.

                    G            
I'd play the whole thing out,

                  D            
From the kids to the house,

        Em                               C        
To the future that we always dreamed about.

             C                            
But there's bird seed on the concrete,

     G                  D     
And back here in reality


               C      
She's driving away

          G                    D                     C       
And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade

      G              D       
Yeah she's really gone,

               C     D            D7       
I thought someday that would be me

                       G                   D      
But now she's driving away in that limousine

                 C    
And I'm holdin' on

        D              G         
Like a tin can on a string.


G C D G

               C     D            D7       
I thought someday that would be me

                       G                   D      
But now she's driving away in that limousine

             Em                         C       
And I'm not ready to let go of everything

                G                D     
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on



*Short Pause*

                     G         
Like a tin can on a string.
