(Intro)
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
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
INSTR.
A - E - A
(Verse)
D E A
I thought someday that would be me
A E
But now she's driving away in that limousine
F#m D
And I'm not ready to let go of everything
A E A
So I'm holding on, I'm holding on like a tin can on a string
(Outro)
A - A - E - A - E
