(Capo 7th fret)
Intro: Em7 D Cadd9 (3x) Last time through Em C
Am C
I should’ve been a better man
G
Instead of wasting time spending my life
Em7
Searching for the finer things
Am C
You always gave me another chance to make it right
G
But I didn’t deserve
Em7
Cause I didn’t understand
[Refrão]Am C
And I feel so bad
G
Cause you wouldn’t do the same to me
Cadd9
But I know what you weakness is
Am C
And you feel so great
G
And now you’re on an open road
Cadd9
So gone, not looking back
(Same as verse 1)
I thought I had you on a leash
Like I could do whatever I wanted to when I wanted to
And you was gonna wait for me baby
And now the tables have turned
And now I feel like
You’re the master and I’m on the strings
You’re in control of me
(Same as chorus 1)
And I feel so bad
Cause you wouldn’t do the same to me
But I know what you weakness is
And you feel so great
And now you’re on an open road
So gone, not looking back
Am
I’m looking for her
C
I’m tryna find her (2x)
G
I really need her
Cadd9
I think I love her
Am Gsus4
You can blame it all on me
Am C
I know it’s like this because of me
Am Gsus4
Now I’m just like a hitchhiker waiting for a ride
Gsus4
With no cars in sight
