C Am G D intro and melody
See your face in rear view mirror
Wish you were closer than you appeared
the trail you left behind
And the dust that you kicked up
I guess it the start of a new year
I try not to shed the tears
Building up in my eyes
And I tell myself that everything will be fine
And I was right
Yeah I was right
When you left I gotta thinkin bout the things I used to love
And I picked up my guitar and started singing a new song
All by myself
I had some luck in the kitchen that very night
I hung my head and let me weep in the light
And I made myself some dinner for the first time in a while
In a while
That night you left me in the cold left me standing all alone
I learned so much everything felt new
And somehow I managed not to cry without you
So I say Im bet-ter off
I saw your face in the rearview mirror
You can stay right where you are
I could see your tire tracks down the road
And I can’t help but feel pretty good
Knowing I'm on my own
I saw your face In your rearview mirror
Guess you were further than you appeared
But that’s okay because I see now
That I just wasted all those years
(humming)
I wasted all those years
(humming)
Guess I wasted all those years
