Intro: C
Verse
C Cmaj7
Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
C6
Took you home set you on the counter
Cmaj7
Oh at least a time or two
C
Maybe she'd thought it through.
C Cmaj7
Yellow sunset slowly dipping down in the rear view
C6
Oh how she loved to sit and watch you
Cmaj7
I could have done that a whole lot more
G
If I hadn't been so stubborn been so selfish
F
Thought about her more thought about me less
G
Joked and make her laugh held her when she cried
F G
A little more that maybe I wouldn't be
Chorus
C Cmaj7
Driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
C6
Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Cmaj7 C
Going any place she might go beating on the dash
Cmaj7 C6
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
Cmaj7 F G
If I had loved her this much all along maybe, maybe, yeah maybe
C Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7
She wouldn't be gone she wouldn't be gone
Verse

I just didn't believe
Cmaj7
She would ever really walk out

Called her mama cried like a baby to her best friend

If they've seen her they ain't sayin
Cmaj7
They ain't sayin

Now I'm cursing like a fool praying it ain't too late

All I wanna do is fix my mistakes

Find her beg her for one more try

Until then damn it I'll be

The C6 in this song is essentially an Am/C. Listen carefully
to the progression of C, Cmaj7 and C6 in the song and you’ll
note that the C remains constant in the bass. The remainder
of the chords are standard barre chords. Also cleaned up the
lyrics on this version.
