you’re out of luck

and the reason that you had to care ,
A Bm D G
the traffic is stuck
D A
and you’re not moving anywhere .

you thought you’d found a friend
D A
to take you out of this place
A Bm D G
someone you could lend a hand
D A
in return for grace

it’s a beautiful day

don’t let it get away

don’t let it get away
