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 

                            
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
