I Just Drove By Acoustic chords by Kimmie Rhodes

Verse 1
C                     C7          F
I always go the other way  but my car drove me down today
     C                                G
To a little house on the older side of town
C                                   F
Back when things were never hard I used to play there in that yard
        C              G                  C     F C
And I just drove by to see if things had changed

Verse 2
C                        C7          F
Cokes were just a nickel then and across the street at the Five and Ten
  C                                         G   G7
A lot of things were cheap and square and strange
          C                           C7              F
And the life that we had might have been but it was one we loved believing in
       C                G                   C      F  C
And I just drove by to see if things had changed

CHORUS:
G                                    C      F       C
I wondered now if love is still the way it was back then
  D7                                 G             G7
I need to know that life is still a place worth living in
  C                       C7     F
There it is just like it was a house where there was always love
    C                  G                  C      F   C
And I just drove by to see if things had changed

In a world that seen it's better days
 F                                  C
it's good to know some things remain the same

Take to heart while in it's spring that love is just a fragile thing

And I just drove by to see if things have changed

I need to know that life is still a place worth livin' in

There it is just like it was a house where there was always love

I just drove by to see if things had changed
       C              G                  C     F C
