From the Backseat
Road Between - 2014
Standard Tuning
Capo 2
We were Gburning in a '9C4 Corolla,
3 Ghours deep into SCouth Dakota.
I was Gworkin' on a lukewarm CCoca-Cola
In the Gdog days of JCuly.
And my Gdad was a Superman sCtick shift driver,
GStay at home Lois LCane beside him,
GKissing to the rhythm of the Cbillboard signs,
As tGhey went blurring Cby.
And Emeven when he would stop to pull over,
DHe never took his hand off of her shoulder...
CYou can see for Gmiles,
You can reach the Emdials,
Sit back and Dsmile from the front seat.
YCou can chase the Gsun,
You can feel the Emhum of the axles uDnderneath your feet.
CWhen you're sitting shotGgun,
EmYou're sitting pretty and Dfree.
CBut you learn to Dlove from the backGseat.
C G C
So Glate one day and I'm Crolling along,
With a Gpart time job and Cblue pom-poms,
Like Gevery day's a knock off CMellencamp song,
With his Ghand right on my Cknee.
GWe made the age old Cprom night promise,
GPut the corsage right Cwhere I want it.
And Gwe found a road with nobCody on it,
And Gwe didn't stop to Cthink.
And EmI didn't care when he killed the motor,
DShut off the lights and we climbed over.
CYou can see for Gmiles,
You can reach the Emdials,
Sit back and Dsmile from the front seat.
CYou can chase the Gsun,
You can feel the Emhum of the axles Dunderneath your feet.
CWhen you're sitting shotGgun,
EmYou're sitting pretty and Dfree.
CBut you learn to Dlove from the backCseat.
Em D
CUp here I see it clear through the rear-view
DIt's good to take the back seat
        CWhen you Dget to
CYou can see for Gmiles,
You can reach the Emdials,
Sit back and Dsmile from the front seat.
CYou can chase the Gsun,
You can feel the Emhum of the axles Dunderneath your feet.
CWhen you're sitting Gshotgun,
EmYou're sitting pretty and Dfree.
CBut you learn to Dlove...
CYou can see for Gmiles,
You can reach the Emdials,
Sit back and Dsmile from the front seat.
CYou can chase the Gsun,
You can feel the Emhum of the axles uDnderneath your feet.
CWhen you're sitting shotGgun,
EmYou're sitting pretty and Dfree.
CBut you learn to Dlove from the backGseat.
