[Intro]
D Em G A (x2)
[Verse 1]
D Em
Driving in your car
G
With the windows down
A
And the beat up stereo
D Em
Struggle with this town
G
Cuz you love to hate it
A
And hate to let it go
D Em
And we're all alone
G
And so tired of being
A
Underrated
D Em
So don't take me home
G
'Cause I feel alive
A
When you come and save me
Bm
A yellow car
A
Speeding down the Southside freeway
Em
We'll rewrite this movie
D G
Make it end like we want it to
[Chorus]
G
And Casey
A
When you go
Bm
Can you come and find me
D
Wanna be beside you
G A
When you leave this town
Bm
I've been waving goodbye
D
Pretending not to cry
G A
I want to be someone
Bm
If you take me away
D
All the pain will change
G A
Into a memory...
D
Of when we were amazing
Em G
[Verse 2]
D Em
Nineteen Eighty Nine
G
Summer had hit
A
But it was not moving
D Em
What is it with this town?
G
Every time we win
A
It just feels like losing
D Em
We were never gonna fit in
G
I was a mixed up kid
A
And you were my sanity
Bm
In a yellow car
A
We don't even have to go far
Em
'Cause that song you're playing
D G
Sounds like peace on the radio
[Chorus 2]
G
And Casey
A
When you go
Bm
Can you come and find me
D
Wanna be beside you
G A
When you leave this town
Bm
I've been waving goodbye
D
Pretending not to cry
G A
I want to be someone
Bm
If you take me away
D
All the pain will change
G A
Into a memory...
Bm
Of when we were amazing
A
Yeah we were amazing
[Bridge]
Em
I know things will change
Casey stay the same
F Em Dm C G
Take me away

Oh, we don't have to go far
D G A Bm D
Yeah, we don't have to go far
[Instrumental]
G A Bm D
G A Bm D
I know
[Chorus]
G
And Casey
A
When you go
Bm
Can you come and find me
D
Wanna be beside you
G A
When you leave this town
Bm
I've been waving goodbye
D
Pretending not to cry
G A
I want to be someone
Bm
If you take me away
D
All the pain will change
G A
Into a memory
Bm
Of when we were
D
When we were
G
And Casey
A
When you go
Bm
Can you come and find me
D
Wanna be beside you
G A
When you leave this town
Bm
I've been waving goodbye
D
Pretending not to cry

I want to be someone
Bm
If you take me away
D
All the pain will change
G A
Into a memory...
Of when we were

And the beat up stereo
