I Got a Car Capo 2
 
[Intro]
D G Bm A
 
[Verse 1]
        D
 She was leaning on a rail in a cotton dress
G
 Summer tanned pretty, little perfect mess
       Bm                                 A
 With a story that could only be anybody's guess
          D
 And I was thinking that I probably didn't stand a chance
      G
 But I rolled up my sleeves, walked up and I said
       Bm                            A            G    A
 Hey, I know I don’t know you but I'd kinda like a shot
            Bm                      A
 She said, I saw you comin' over, I already thought it over
    G          A
 And OK, so now what
 
 
[Chorus]
                 D
 And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something
   G
 At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothing
  Bm                                       A
 I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are
              D
 And she said, where do you think all this is going
G
 I said, there ain't no way of knowing
  Bm             A                       G
 I guess I hadn't thought it through that far
A           D
 But I got a car
 
 
[Verse 2]
       D
 So, we let the wheels turn and the windows down
   G
 We let ourselves go all the way through town
    Bm                                    A
 She never said stop and I never asked her why
         D
 We drove into the night, when outta nowhere
              G
 She said, I'd give anything to never go back there
      Bm              A               G   A
 And I kinda wish this day would never end
          Bm                       A            G               A
 She said, I could use a change but I don't even know where to begin…
 
 
[Chorus]
                 D
 And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something
   G
 At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothing
 Bm                                        A
 I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are
              D
 And she said, where do you think all this is going
G
 I said, there ain't no way of knowing
  Bm            A                       G   A
 I really hadn't thought it through that far
    Bm              A                G
 And I can't promise you the moon and stars
A           D
 But I got a car
 
 
[Bridge]
       G
 We got lost in the miles, lost track of the days
        D
 'Til we finally found a stopping place
         Bm                 A                  G
 When the doctor's said, you know what's on the way?
       G
 And we found ourselves in a little white house
    D
 One Sunday morning, rain pouring down
    Bm                 A        G                 A
 She said, I think it's time but all the lines are out
        Bm                 A                  G           A
 And her eyes teared up and she said, what are we gonna do now?
 
 
[Chorus 2]
                 D
 And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's something
    G
 You think it'll start, I said, it's already running
         Bm                                        A
 Got your things in the back and I'm ready when you are
                  D
 She said, are you sure it'll get us where we're goin'?
G                                         Bm   A              G   A
 I said, if there's one thing I know girl, it's gotten us this far
      Bm                          A              G
 And I don't mean to hurry but I'm ready when you are
