Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
C F C F

[Verse 1]
C F
Today I thought of you
C F
It doesn’t happen often
Em Dm
I was walking in the rain
Em G
The light hit, the leaves softened

Under my feet

C F
Road unpaved and true
C F
Been six years since I even talked to you
Em Dm
There was no cooling down
Em G
You just wrapped my hand in yours, put your head down

Said you were sorry, I

C F
Started to question what was real
C F
Held tight to the lapel of your coat just to have something to feel
Em Dm
You said that you’d be going
Em G
Couldn’t believe you were telling the truth

There was no way of knowing

C F
I used to find you just by chance
C F
At the back of a concert bar you had me in a trance
Em Dm
And I read our letters now
Em G
How could you have felt those things, packed up

And driven out of town

[Chorus]
C F
When every silver civic was your car
Em Dm
And I was gonna be a star
F G C
And you were gonna be mine
C F
When every silver civic was your car
Em Dm
And I was gonna be a star
F F C
And you were gonna be mine

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
C F
Now I’m in rumpled cotton slouching
C F
Got my kingdom, got my couch
Em Dm D5
Autopilot is my pilot
Em G
I roll in and I whirl out

C F
But I eat up this experience
C F
Careen down highways of doubt
Em Dm
I’m just teetering in adulthood
Em G
Like a flower in a drought

[Chorus]
C F
When every silver civic was your car
Em Dm
And I was gonna be a star
F G C
And you were gonna be mine
C F
When every silver civic was your car
Em Dm
And I was gonna be a star
F G C
And you were gonna be mine
C F
Every silver civic was your car
C F
Every silver civic was your car
C F
Every silver civic was your car
