You said iAmt gave you a headacheC  
But thaGt was a lineG/F#  
That you often Cused
It alGways workG/F#ed on meC  
I Gpulled to the sG/F#ide
Of the windCing road
So we Gcould gDet some slGeep
G
GAnd I watched you sG/F#nore
As the sEmnow started falCling
Your phoAmne started ringing
Your husbCand was calling
But I Glet you G/F#sleep
Cuz you Emlooked like you were dCreaming
And that Amsuited me man, fineC

In our beautiful new liG/F#fe
(And I said) It won't be easy leavGing

But leCts leave everything behAmindC

Medicine Hat

G G/F#

Driving at night

Em C

The Trans-Canada Highway

Am C

Was lit up for miles in the snow

G G/F# Em C

I lit a smoke and you rolled down the window

Am C

You said it gave you a headache

G G/F#

But that was a line

That you often used

G G/F# C

It always worked on me

G G/F#

I pulled to the side

Of the winding road

G D G

So we could get some sleep

G G/F#

And I watched you snore

Em C

As the snow started falling

Your phone started ringing

Your husband was calling

G G/F#

But I let you sleep

Em C

Cuz you looked like you were dreaming

Am C

And that suited me man, fine

G G/F# C

And we got on the road back to Medicine Hat

G G/F# C

To the town where you grew up

G G/F#

I pulled in the driveway

And cranked up the heater

G D G

And you turned the radio up

Am C

You said "I think I'm getting old"

G G/F#

I said "I think that you look be-tter than ever"

Am C

So lets keep drivin' any direction

I won't spare you no affection

G/F#

In our beautiful new life

(And I said) It won't be easy leaving

G/F# Em

Everything behind

C Am C

But lets leave everything behind
