As recorded by Suzie Ungerleider
(From the 2021 Album MY NAME IS SUZIE UNGERLEIDER)
Capo 4th fret
[Verse 1]
C E Am C
You were driving the back roads last night
F
Under the light of the stars
F
Past fallow fields and broken-down barns
[Verse 2]
C E Am C
When you reached the house with no porch light
F
You switched off the hum of the car
F C
And sat alone in the dark
[Chorus]
Em F C Am
You always smiled through those baby blues
Em F C
No one knew that you had
Em F C
From a mother who’s much too loose
A7 Dm G
And a father who’s much too sad
[Verse 3]
C E Am C
You remembered how he cried that night
F
“Please don’t leave us alone,
F
Please don’t break up our home.”
[Verse 4]
C E Am C
After the credits rolled inside your mind
F
You turned the key in the car
C
And drove back home through the dark.
[Chorus]
Em F C Am
You always smiled through those baby blues
Em F C
No one knew that you had
Em F C
From a mother who’s much too loose
A7 Dm G
And a father who’s much too sad
[Verse 5]
C E Am C
You remembered how he cried that night
F
“Please don’t leave us alone,
F
Please don’t break up our home.”
[Verse 4]
C E Am C
After the credits rolled inside your mind
F
You turned the key in the car
C
And drove back home through the dark.
[Outro]
F
You turned the key in the car
C
And drove back home through the dark.
