I Got a Car Capo 2
[Intro]
D G Bm A
[Verse 1]
D
She was leaning on a rail in a cotton dress
G
Summer tanned pretty, little perfect mess
Bm A
With a story that could only be anybody's guess
D
And I was thinking that I probably didn't stand a chance
G
But I rolled up my sleeves, walked up and I said
Bm A G A
Hey, I know I don’t know you but I'd kinda like a shot
Bm A
She said, I saw you comin' over, I already thought it over
G A
And OK, so now what
[Chorus]
D
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something
G
At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothing
Bm A
I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are
D
And she said, where do you think all this is going
G
I said, there ain't no way of knowing
Bm A G
I guess I hadn't thought it through that far
A D
But I got a car
[Verse 2]
D
So, we let the wheels turn and the windows down
G
We let ourselves go all the way through town
Bm A
She never said stop and I never asked her why
D
We drove into the night, when outta nowhere
G
She said, I'd give anything to never go back there
Bm A G A
And I kinda wish this day would never end
Bm A G A
She said, I could use a change but I don't even know where to begin…
[Chorus]
D
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something
G
At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothing
Bm A
I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are
D
And she said, where do you think all this is going
G
I said, there ain't no way of knowing
Bm A G A
I really hadn't thought it through that far
Bm A G
And I can't promise you the moon and stars
A D
But I got a car
[Bridge]
G
We got lost in the miles, lost track of the days
D
'Til we finally found a stopping place
Bm A G
When the doctor's said, you know what's on the way?
G
And we found ourselves in a little white house
D
One Sunday morning, rain pouring down
Bm A G A
She said, I think it's time but all the lines are out
Bm A G A
And her eyes teared up and she said, what are we gonna do now?
[Chorus 2]
D
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something
G
You think it'll start, I said, it's already running
Bm A
Got your things in the back and I'm ready when you are
D
She said, are you sure it'll get us where we're goin'?
G Bm A G A
I said, if there's one thing I know girl, it's gotten us this far
Bm A G
And I don't mean to hurry but I'm ready when you are
[Outro]
D G Bm A D G Bm A D
