[Intro]
D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
[Verse]
D
Sittin' on the front step
Dmaj7
Little white suitcase
D
Hearing that diesel
Dmaj7
'Fore it hit the front gate
G D
His headlights burnin' down a Friday night
D
Southern Belle statue
Dmaj7
Standing in the screen door
D
Watching her whole world
Dmaj7
Head for an old Ford
G D
With a man that can't look her in the eye
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
Then I run, to him
D/F# G
Big hug, jump in
Em G
And I cry for her
D/F# G
Out the window
[Chorus]
Bm
Some mommas and daddies
G
Are loving in a straight line
D
Take forever to heart
A
And take a long sweet ride
Bm
But some mommas and daddies
G D
Let their heart strings tear and tangle
A
And some of us get stuck
D
In a love triangle
[Verse]
D
Bowling alley burger
Dmaj7
Fries and a milkshake
D
Headed to the same old
Dmaj7
Two-dollar matinee
G
'Baby, how's your school been,
D
And how's your mom?
D
Patsy Cline echoes
Dmaj7
Back off the dashboard
D
Staring at my boots
Dmaj7
And the dusty old floorboard
G D
Baby, two weeks ain't really all that long
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
Then I run, to her
D/F# G
Wrap my arms, around her skirt
Em G
And I cry for him
D/F# G
Out the window
[Chorus]
Bm
Some mommas and daddies
G
Are loving in a straight line
D
Take forever to hearten
A
And then take a long sweet ride
Bm
But some mommas and daddies
G D
Let their heart strings tear and tangle
A
And some of us get stuck
D
In a love triangle
[Bridge]
G Bm A
Oooooh
G Bm A
Oooooh
A D
In a love triangle
G Bm A
Oooooh
G Bm A
Oooooh
[Final Chorus]
Bm
Some mommas and daddies
G
Are loving in a straight line
D
Take forever to hearten
A
And then take a long sweet ride
Bm
But some mommas and daddies
G D A
Let their heart strings tear and tangle, oh
Bm
And some mommas and daddies
G
Ran outta love in '94
D
And some mommas and daddies
A
Don't even talk no more
Bm
And some mommas and daddies
G D
Let their heart strings tear and tangle
G
And some of us get stuck
A
And some of us grow up
G D
In a love triangle
