I want to remember
E                 A   D   A
 But I try to forget
                   A
That scene in the car park
E                 A   D   A
 That I still regret


♫ Chorus:
             D                           E
Just like before, times I've even lost track
          A                   E                      A    D   A
I ran away crawling 'cause I fall every time I look back

 G      D     G       D   G       D     G     D        A     D   A
Miles, baby, hundreds of highways and truck stops I've used
 G     D     G       D   G    D    G     D      E/G#   A   A#
Cars, baby, hundreds of cars have passed and refused
    E
I stood on the shoulder with tears in my eyes


♫ Verse 3:
            A
I drink tequila
E                         A     D   A
 And watch the game in the bar
               A
I don't care who loses
E                      A        D   A
 I don't know who the teams are


♫ Chorus:
            D
We had our time
                       E
But the bells finally tolled
          A
And my Ohio winter
E                 A    D   A
 Was finally too cold
