[Intro]
C E7 F G
[Verse]
C E7
As the echo of the door I slammed keeps ringing in my ear
F G
I floor the pedal to the metal trying to get out of here, and I’m
C E7
(pause) Half loaded with booze, (pause) the other half anger
F G C
Thought the fresh air and the engine roar would make it all better
C
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
But as I hit the brakes,
Am
I hit a patch of ice,
E7
It seems my time is up,
F F Fm
‘Cause Now I’m seeing lights
[Chorus]
F C
And I think back to that day
E7 Am
When you told me you were mine
F C
It makes me happy to know in the end
E7 Am
I saw your face at the end of the line
C E7 F G x2
[Verse 2]
C E7
I still remember the day our eyes first met,
F G
We were both in handcuffs and told that we’re under arrest, then we
C E7
Sprung the coop, (pause) and stole a car,
F G C
We felt right then that this punk love would take us far,
C
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
We went to tons of shows,
Am
And drank our beer at night,
E7
We held each other close,
F F Fm
And knew we’d be alright
[Chorus]
F C
And I think back to that day
E7 Am
When you told me you were mine
F C
It makes me happy to know in the end
E7 Am
I saw your face at the end of the line
C E7 F G x2
[Verse 3]
C E7
But as the years went on I grew possessive
F G
Seeing another man near you had made me aggressive
C E7
You were the best damn girl I’ve ever known,
F G C
But I fucked up so now I’ll die alone
C
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
I’m bleeding in the snow
Am
After that, who knows
E7 Am
Now I’m lying in the hospital bed
Dm
Then you open up the door
Am
With a face like never before
E7 Am
You look so sad that soon I’ll be dead
Dm
Said I’m sorry for what I said that night
Am
You said it’ll be alright
E7 F Fm
Then you softly kissed the side of my head
[Final Chorus]
F C
And I think back on this day
E7 Am
The day at the end of my line
F C
I know I’m not going to die alone
E7 Am
Cause your hand is holding mine
F C
And I thought about what’s next
E7 Am
After the end of the line
F C
Even if there’s nothing left
E7 Am
I still had a wonderful time
