F
If I only had a car

Wouldn't be here in this bar

Trying to get to you

Time takes toll, the hours I'd roll

Is it a blessing or is it a curse

Seems this love makes matters worse

I'm stuck in this café
G
Lost along the way

Moving to keep strong

When I'm feeling myself burn

It don't matter let it hurt
Am
It tells me I'm alive

Bb Am
When you saw me in California
Bb F G
I was lost in a dusty haze
Bb F G
Now that I know you - You feel so far away
F
If I only had a car
G
Wouldn't be here in this bar
Am
Trying to get to you
F
As I'm waving you goodbye
G
Following the line
Am
Trying to get to you
F
Still the echoes fill the void
G
Your eyes rolled in your head
Am
As you slowly disappeared
F
Still hard to rearrange
G
The distance made it strange
Am
I'm still trying to get to you
F G Am (x2)
F
If I only had a car
G
Wouldn't be here in this bar
Am
Trying to get to you
