A – E – A – E ( 2x )

( verse )

A E
after the breakup , i really thought we’d make up
F#m D
give her a little time , i’d be on her mind and suddenly she’d wake up
A E
but today if you listen , softly off in the distance
F#m D
somewhere across town , you can hear the sound of wedding bells ringing
A
and there’s birdseed on the concrete and she’s waving goodbye

( chorus )

E A E
and they’re driving away , everybody’s cheering them on
E A E
as the taillights fade , yeah she’s really gone
D E A
i thought someday that would be me
A E
but now she’s driving away in that limousine
D E A
and i’m holding on like a tin can on a string

( verse )

A E
somewhere in my mind , i’m the one by her side
F#m D
in that backseat talking ’bout the beach , and that honeymoon flight
A E
i play the whole thing out , from the kids to the house
F#m D
to the future that we always dreamed about
A
but there’s birdseed on the concrete back here in reality

( chorus )

E A E
and they’re driving away , everybody’s cheering them on
E A E
as the taillights fade , yeah she’s really gone

and i’m holding on like a tin can on a string
