Verse 1:
G6G6
I got my driver’s license last week
E minor 7Em7
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
Cadd2Cadd2
To finally drive up to your house
But today I drove through the suburbs
G6G6
Crying 'cause you weren't around
Verse 2:
G6G6
And you're probably with that blonde girl
Who always made me doubt
E minor 7Em7
She's so much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about
Cadd2Cadd2
But, today I drove through the suburbs
G6G6
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?
Chorus:
Cadd2Cadd2
And I know we weren't perfect
G6G6
but I've never felt this way for no one
Cadd2Cadd2
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay
G6G6
now that I'm gone
E minor 7Em7 D/F#D/F# G5G5 B minorBm Csus2Csus2
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
Csus2Csus2 Dsus4Dsus4 G5G5
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
