Sometimes Jared will play a G/F# walkdown between the G and Em7; I didn't include them
as to not clutter up the tab, but if you want to play it, it's 200033 in a single downstroke
[Intro]
 G   Em7   Cadd9(x4)
[Verse]
GSuit's on, we're ready to go
I know it's all part of the Em7show
Em7Hold tight and go along for the ride
Have a drink and try and work up a sGmile
GTie on, now I'm dressed to kill
Can't help but feel the way you Em7feel
Em7Sit down, it's been a long couple days
Wayfarers try, but I can see your faGce
[Interlude]
G Em7 Cadd9
[Verse]
GSun's out, the nicest day of the year
I wonder if you wish you were Em7here
Em7Do you forget all that you used to know?
Like all your bad dreams and all your favorite sGhows
GDrive home will never be the same
Ten years, I promise your name in Em7fame
Em7Weighs more than I like to believe
Always had a trick up my slDeeve,
And I wonder, I'm still wonderinCadd9'
