I Got A Car
(Capo on 2)
Intro.: |(D) |(G) |(Bm) |(A)
(Verse 1)
She was (D)leanin' 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)thinkin' that I probably didn't stand a chance, but I (G)rolled up my
sleeves, walked up and I said
Hey (Bm)no, I don't know you, but I'd (A)kinda like a (G)shot (A)
She said, I (Bm)saw you comin' over, I al-(A)ready 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 goin', (G)I said, there ain't no way of knowin'
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 end (G) (A)
She said, (Bm)I could use a change but (A)I don't even (G)know where to be-(A)gin

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 goin', (G)I said, there ain't no way of knowin'
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 car

(Bridge)
We got (G)lost in the miles, lost track of the days, 'til we (D) finally found a
stoppin' place
When the (Bm)doctor's said, you (A)know what's on the way? (G)
And we found ourselves in a little white house, one (D) Sunday morning, rain pourin' 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)
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 runninf
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
