Kyle Bennett Band
Capo II
Intro
D, Cadd9, G x2
D Cadd9 G
I got a girl back in Fort Worth that means the world to me
D Cadd9 G
Her eyes are green, green as the emerald sea
D Cadd9 G
She left me not so long ago
D Cadd9 G
I headed down to Port Aransas for the Gulf Coast, baby
D, Cadd9, G
D Cadd9 G
Here I sit alone out on the sand
D Cadd9 G
Watchin’ pieces of my life go through my hands
D Cadd9 G
Bein’ out here is what I needed most

I try like hell, but I can’t escape your ghost
Em G D
Take me back to Donnelly Drive
Em G D
Back to a time when I was still alive
Em G D
Close my eyes, see it in my mind
Em G Cadd9
Take me back to Donnelly Drive
(same chord progression as first and second verse)
I long to hold you, but I don’t think that I can
I sit and think of why I’m such a foolish man
‘Cause losin’ you is the worst thing that I’ve done
Deep in my heart I know that you’re the only one now
Took a walk down the beach to clear my mind
Wishin’ someone would turn back the hands of time
To when I held you, to when I felt so free
I’m hopin’ one day that you just might remember me
Take me back to Donnelly Drive
Back to a time when I was still alive
Close my eyes, see it in my mind
Take me back to Donnelly Drive
I got a girl back in Fort Worth that means the world to me
