 EStumble up the porch step
 You Asat down in the car
 Only Ethirteen blocks across this town
 To Aget to where you are
 EAnd that don’t offer me much time
 ATo make up my mind
 So I Ebest be driving sloAw
 On my way to letting goE  A  
 These Eheadlights they just wanna fade
 AOff into the night
 But if they’rEe half as stubborn as me
 They’ll just kAeep on shining bright
 I ain’t Eever been one to settle like
 The duAst does on the dash
 And since the Efeeling ain’t strong, I’ll just move on
 And Bleave this in my past

CAPO 2

E A

Stumble up the porch step

You sat down in the car

Only thirteen blocks across this town

To get to where you are

And that don’t offer me much time

To make up my mind

E A

So I best be driving slow

E A

On my way to letting go

These headlights they just wanna fade

Off into the night

But if they’re half as stubborn as me

They’ll just keep on shining bright

I ain’t ever been one to settle like

The dust does on the dash

And since the feeling ain’t strong, I’ll just move on

And leave this in my past

Once you're gone I know your memory'll

Somehow get the best of me

C#m A E A

( )

So I question everything I do

Unsure of turning you away

Wondering love how I’ll act today

C#m A E

Until you find somebody new

C#m

So I’ve been holding on

A E

Way too long, but not another minute

C#m

I'm gonna miss you bad but

A E A

( )

Can’t call it love if you ain’t in it

Red light turns to green

Then back to red again

I wish there were some other travelers out here

To slow my travelling

E B C#m

Even though the wheel rolled on

Inside I still don’t know

E B

Oh and it troubles me so

Once you're gone I know your memory'll

Somehow get the best of me

C#m A E A

( )

So I question everything I do

Unsure of turning you away

Wondering love how I’ll feel today

C#m A E

I see you find somebody new

Way too long, but not another minute

Once you're gone I know your memory'll
