got into a car crashed along the way

you were standin on the hood of your car
Fmaj7                             Cadd9
singin out loud when the sun came up
Fmaj7                C                     G
And i know it wasnt right but it felt so good

Fmaj7               C     G
And you move like water
Fmaj7             C    G

Fmaj7            C      G 
and i fell so deep once

till you pulled me through
D
and you tell me no is allowed to be so proud 
C                        Cadd9
everytime when their giving up

         (Chorus)
youll change between fmaj7 and  
c constantly during this verse



Are you standing in the lights 

or combng your hair again and talkin in rymes

are you standing in the lines
Fmaj7               C                    G
when i got home i heard the phone your parents had arrived
Fmaj7                 C                       G
your dad set his jaw ya mom just smiled and sighed
Fmaj7                 C               
but they left soon and i went to my room 
G
played that disc youd givin me
Fmaj7          C                     G
shut my eyes swear i could hear the sea

             (Chorus)
