verse 1
F G
I just can't keep this running
Am C/E F G
It's been 7 years still nothing changes
Am C/E
I'm always waiting on you to break down
F G
One record in my car
Am C/E
A quarter tank won't get me far
F G Am
I'm stuck in the third, stuck in the dirt
C/E
A warm 40 to quench my thirst
Pre-Chorus
Am G C/E C
Nowhere to go, all alone
Am G C/E C
Singing your song, you're not in shotgun
F G
Forget my pain
Am
Forget my name
C/E
I've told you time and time again
F G Am C/E
That when you break down, I break down

Forget directions

Or bad intentions

I'm lost without your headlights
G Am C/E
And when you break down, I break down

The back seat so uncomfortable

I went right in, and cried again

That smell still lingers on my skin

Nowhere to go, all alone

Singing your song, you're not in shotgun

Forget my name
