E
I had a broken heart
Abm
and a broken heel
A
and a break down when those
E
big old wheels left with him
Abm A E
and left me in a cloud of Deep old dust
She was sitting there
Abm
With her beehive hair
A
And said, honey,

That's a waste of good mascara
Abm
She handed me a pink kleenex
A
And I'll never forget
E
What she said next

They both pick up speed when you

But there's no use chasing after boys and buses

E Abm
She said, Some leave with a guitar case,
A E
And some wind up at an army base,
Abm
And some make out much under the hood,
A E
And some roll it on out to Hollywood.
Abm
But the cost is lost once the ticket's bought
A E
And you can't catch what don't wanna be caught
Abm
But when those tail lights start to dim
A E
There's another one coming right around the bend 'cause,

E Abm
Sometimes love and transportation
A E
Will spin your wheels and keep you waiting
Abm
But anytime you think you've missed it,
A E
Just give it ten or fifteen minutes.
