Automatic chords by Miranda Lambert

Capo 5

Intro: C F Am F x2

C
Quarter in a payphone

Drying laundry on the line
     Bb
Watching sun tea in the window
    F
Pocket watch for telling time


C
Seems like only yesterday

I'd get a blank cassette
  Bb
Record the Country Countdown
    F
'Cos I couldn't buy it yet

C F

      C
If we drove all the way to Dallas

Just to buy an Easter dress
      Bb
We'd take along a Rand McNally
     F
Stand in line to pay for gas

  C
God knows that shifting gears

Ain't what it used to be
       Bb
I learned to drive that '55
      F
Just like a Queen three on the trip

C            F
Hey whatever happened to
        Am
Waiting your turn
      F
Doing it all by hand
     C             F
'Cos when everything is handed to you
      Am          F
It's only worth as much as the time you put in
  Bb                 F
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Bb            F     C
Back before everything became, Automatic

F Am F

  C
If you had something to say
You'd write in on a piece of paper
     Bb
And you'd put a stamp on it
      F
And they'd get it three days later

C
Boys would call the girls

And girls would turn them down
    Bb
Staying married was the only way
  F
To work your problems out

C            F
Hey whatever happened to
        Am
Waiting your turn
      F
Doing it all by hand
     C             F
'Cos when everything is handed to you
      Am          F
It's only worth as much as the time you put in
  Bb                 F
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Bb            F     C    F
Am F
Back before everything became, Automatic, yeah
  C   F Am F
Automatic

    C
Lets's roll the windows down

Windows with the cranks
   Bb
Come on let's take a picture
  F
The kind you gotta shake

C            F
Hey whatever happened to
        Am
Waiting your turn
      F
Doing it all by hand
     C             F
'Cos when everything is handed to you
      Am          F
It's only worth as much as the time you put in
  Bb                 F
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Bb            F     C  F
Am F
Back before everything became, Automatic, yeah
  C
Automatic
