Dm                                       G      C       G
Can you tell me why you left me standing in the parking structure
Dm                                 G          C     G
Caroline, I was the almost perfect boyfriend, ever, for you
Dm                                       G      C     G
And, you even said that to me, one time, at the Olive Garden
Dm                                        G        C        G
Please return my car and leave the keys inside the glove compartment

[Chorus]
C         Dm           Em           F
Caroline, Caroline, oh Caroline, oh Caroline
    C            F            Dm G   C
Oh, Caroline, oh Caroline, oh Ca-rol-ine

[Verse 2]
Dm                                       G    C     G
Caroline, you are the hardest thing I'll ever put behind me
Dm                                          G        C      G
Never thought you'd leave me stranded not a glance into the rearview
Dm                                          G      C     G
I'll be looking for someone who wears their hair exactly like you
Dm                                             G        C      G
And who swears a blue streak when the Tarheels lose the quarterfinals

[Chorus]
C         Dm           Em           F
Caroline, Caroline, oh Caroline, oh Caroline
    C            F            Dm G   C
Oh, Caroline, oh Caroline, oh Ca-rol-ine

[Verse 3]
Dm                                     G     C       G
If you ever find another, please don't put a post on Facebook
Dm                                   G       C       G
I would rather think I was a deep regret you can't resolve
Dm                                     G        C    G
If I have a drink with someone, I will tell her all about you
Dm                                       G       C        G
That will be the big mistake that I will make on my first date

[Chorus]
C         Dm           Em           F
Caroline, Caroline, oh Caroline, oh Caroline
    C            F            Dm G   C
Oh, Caroline, oh Caroline, oh Ca-rol-ine

[Bridge]
Dm C G Dm C G C G (x3)
[Chorus Chords]

[Banjo solo chords]
C Dm Em F (x3)
C F  Dm G C

[Verse 4]
Dm                  G     C        G
Yes, I know that we could not have lasted
Dm                 G  C    G
Daily life can not be that intense
Dm
I'll phone my friends and try to explain
Dm                        G     C  G
Why this past year I have acted so insane!

[Chorus]
C         Dm           Em           F
Caroline, Caroline, oh Caroline, oh Caroline
    C            F            Dm Am   G
Oh, Caroline, oh Caroline, oh Ca-rol-ine
C         Dm           Em           F
Caroline, Caroline, oh Caroline, oh Caroline
    C            F            Dm G   C    C (final strum)
Oh, Caroline, oh Caroline, oh Ca-rol-ine
