Em
We called it a party
C Bm
Even though everybody was sad

You showed up with some coffee

Stated moving at seven am

When we talk it's like a meeting
C Bm
Full of budgets and utility bills
[Refrão]

Driving on the highway home

This time alone

I turned on the radio to something slow
D C
Just to let it fuck with my mood
Em G
And songs don't sound the same
D C C Bm
Without you in the passenger seat

Without you

In the passenger seat

We made a deal when we started
C Bm
And we knew it would take some work
Em
Every day was like a party

Of driving to my parents' place
Em
I'd lean on in to kiss you

See the gap toothed smile on your face

And you look like you've given up trying

Katie just tell me, now what can I do?
