[Verse 1]
Abmaj7
Used to drive 'round in your Wrangler in our deadbeat town
Cm
In the parking lot

We would talk about all the drama

Had nothing better to do

Now I go out with my new friends to a party downtown
Cm
In a new dress 'Til the liquor runs out
Ebadd9
Every weekend
Bb/D
Go out with somebody new
[Pre-Chorus]
Abmaj7 Cm
You could say that all my dreams came true
Ebadd9 Bb/D
Oh, what an underwhelming view

Thought that it was real

Thought that it was worth it
Cm
Out the window, everything was looking perfect
Ebadd9
Caught in a dream

It's not what it seems

Thought that I was fine sitting in the backseat

In the mirror really looked like I was happy
