E 
My mind it kind of goes fast 
E 
I try to slow it down for you 
E                           A 
I think I'd love to take a drive I wanted to give you something

I've been wanting to give to you for years...

My heart (My heart, my pain won't cover up, you left me...) 
       E             B                        A 
My heart (My heart won't take this cover up, you left me..)

I came to see the light in my best friend 
E 
You seemed as happy as you'd ever been

My chance of being open was broken and now you're Mrs. him.

But I'll try to say I'm happy for you

I think I'm going to take that drive; I wanted to give you something
