AmAs I drive down that country street
FWith the dirt roads and mountain peaks
CI think about how It could have been
Just you and Gme

AmMaybe if you would see
FHow beautiful it is right here with me
CYou might come back to eGnjoy some 
Egood times
EGirl you gotta realize
That it we were up tight

FGotta feel like the guy that dCrove you home
GGotta make you feel better when you're all aAmlone
FI gotta find a way to make you fGeel sCecureG

[Verse 1]

As I drive down that country street

With the dirt roads and mountain peaks

I think about how It could have been

Just you and me

[Verse 2]

Maybe if you would see

How beautiful it is right here with me

C G

You might come back to enjoy some

good times

Girl you gotta realize

That it we were up tight

[Chorus]

F C

Gotta feel like the guy that drove you home

G Am

Gotta make you feel better when you're all alone

F G C G

I gotta find a way to make you feel secure

F C

I brought you up when you were feeling down...

C G Am

I beat all your pressure to the ground

F G

But I know that you don't love me

Am F G

No you don't love me

[Verse 3]

When those tears rolled down my cheek

Off my chin, and onto the streets

I thought that if you come back

You might see...

F C

That I am the guy that drove you home

G Am

I made feel better when you were all alone

F G C G

I found the way a way to make you feel secure

F C

I brought you up when you were feeling down...

I beat all your pressure to the ground

You just might love me

F G

You just MIGHT LOVE ME...

As I think about it now,

I could of made it right

And I know that it was just woudnt be right

When I asked you if it could be for a while,

C Am G

I didn't realize it won't be forever

F C Am G

And that was a big mistake
