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