followed you
[F#m] [A] foolishly
We were at [Bm] a smoking bar
We were out till [A] three
Sat alone [D] inside my car
It was nearly [A] four
Couldn't wait [Bm] for you all night
So I broke the [F#m] door
I was [D] gonna spend the night
It could have [A] been okay
We were [Bm] gonna talk all night
Till I went [A] away
Remember [D] how you used to say
Can't stay away
[A] A minute later [G] and I'm older now
I can't stay [D] away
I'm driving by your parents' farm
In the [A] Chevron plate
I remember [G] that rusty car
Like it was yesterday

[E] [Em]

my brother driving by
The other [F#m] day
Wished that [Bm] I'd come out to him
But he drove [A] away
Saw my [D] sister standing there
[A] Excepting him
Never thought [Bm] I'd have nothing
Ever feel [A] so sane

[Em] [D]
[F#m] [Em] day, come [D] and go
I [Em] don't think I could ever say [D] that to [F#m] you
[Em] Little secrets we bring [D]
along
[F#m] I'm taking [A] my time
[G] Shallowly on
The heart [D] of you
[F#m] Remember [Em] day, come [D] and go
[F#m] I don't [Em] think I could ever say [D] that to [F#m] you
Little [Em] secrets we bring [D]
along
[F#m] Today is the [A] day
Today [G] is the day For [D] you
Remember
[F#m] [Em] day, [D] come and go
[F#m] [Em] Don't think I wanna [D] sing that song
[F#m] It's [Em] always trouble that [D] makes you strong
[F#m] Today is the [A] day
[G] Today is the day
For [D] you
