[Verse 1]
        E                                     A2
She was leanin' on a rail in a cotton dress, summer tanned pretty

Little perfect mess
       Dbm                                B4
With a story that could only be anybody's guess
          E
And I was thinkin' that I probably didn't stand a chance, but I
A2
Rolled up my sleeves, walked up and I said
    Dbm                           B4           A2     B4
Hey no, I don't know you, but I'd kinda like a shot
             Dbm                      B4
She said, I saw you comin' over, I already thought it over and
A2         B4
Ok, so now what

[Chorus]
                 E                                           A2
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something at least

It's a start, I said it's better than nothing
  Dbm                                      B4
I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are
              E                                       A2
And she said, where do you think all this is goin', I said, there

Ain't no way of knowin'
  Dbm            B4                     A2
I guess I hadn't thought it through that far
B4           E
But I got a car

[Verse 2]
       E                                            A2
So, we let the wheels turn and the windows down, we let ourselves

Go all the way through town
    Dbm                                   B4
She never said stop and I never asked her why
         E                                                 A2
We drove into the night, when outta nowhere, she said, I'd give

Anything to never go back there
      Dbm             B4              A2
And I kinda wish this day would never end
          Dbm                      B4
She said, I could use a change but I don't even know where to
A2        B4
Begin

[Chorus]
                 E                                           A2
And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something at least

It's a start, I said it's better than nothing
  Dbm                                      B4
I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are
              E                                       A2
And she said, where do you think all this is goin', I said, there

Ain't no way of knowin'
  Dbm           B4                      A2      B4
I really hadn't thought it through that far
      Dbm                   B4       A2
And I can't promise you the moon and stars
B4           E
But I got a car

 B4*  E* 3x

[Bridge]
       A2
We got lost in the miles, lost track of the days
        E
'Til we, finally found a stoppin' place
         Dbm                B4                     A2
When the doctor's said, you know what's on the way?

And we found ourselves in a little white house
    E
One, Sunday morning rain pourin' down
             Dbm                Bsus4             Asus2   Basus4
She said, I think it's time But all the lines are out
        Dbm                B4                A2          B4 *
And her eyes teared up and she said What are we gonna do now?

[Final chorus]
                 E
And I said, well I got a car She said, there's something
    A2
You think it'll start? I said it's already runnin'
         Dbm                                       B4
Got your things in the back and I'm ready when you are
                   E
She said, are you sure it'll get us where we're goin'?
   A2                                     Dbm
I said, if there's one thing I know girl
     B4             A2      B4
It's gotten us this far
      Dbm                 B4                     A2
And I don't mean to hurry but I'm ready when you are
