(E)  (B7)  (E)  (B7)
I didn't Erealize I'd driven
AThis far out of Etown
But I B7really have no reason
To Eturn around
You're not waitin' dinner
Your Awaitin' days are Edone
But my B7mind keeps racing back
To things I can't outrun
Like the Eguilt I carry with me
For the Alove that went to Ewaste
The B7things I did to hurt you
EOh, the bitter taste
For all the words unspoken
I Afelt but didn't Esay
For the B7times I didn't get it
Till the time you got away
Oh, these Eafterthoughts
After you've Bgone
After it's Edawned on me, I E/G#was wArong
After it's Etoo late
For you to forgive me, Banymore
Oh, I Ashould've had these Bafterthoughts, be Efore
E E B E E/G# A E E B A B E

I didn't realize I'd driven

A E

This far out of town

But I really have no reason

To turn around

You're not waitin' dinner

A E

Your waitin' days are done

But my mind keeps racing back

To things I can't outrun

Like the guilt I carry with me

A E

For the love that went to waste

The things I did to hurt you

Oh, the bitter taste

For all the words unspoken

A E

I felt but didn't say

For the times I didn't get it

Till the time you got away

Oh, these afterthoughts

After you've gone

E E/G# A

After it's dawned on me, I was wrong

After it's too late

For you to forgive me, anymore

A B E

Oh, I should've had these afterthoughts, be fore
