[C] [G] [Fmaj7]
Verse 1:
Let's [C]drive for no reason, let's see where these wheels land
Let's [Fmaj7]grind down the curve of this earth
You look [Am]fine in the evening and, [G]honey, it's startin[Fmaj7]starting to storm
When we [C]kissed in the car in the school parking [G]lot
Where I'd [Fmaj7]go with my friends to get drunk
Used to [Am]wish I meant anything to [G]anywhere, to [Fmaj7]anyone
Pre-Chorus:
When [C]forever was a sentence, [G]sentence to [Fmaj7]death
Oh, when [Am]you were a running tear,[G]tear, I was a drop of [Fmaj7]sweat
And thе [C]edges of your soul, I [G]haven't seen [Fmaj7]yet
Now I'm g[Am]glad I get [G]forever to see where you [Fmaj7]end
Chorus:
I won't be a[Fmaj7]alone for the [C]rest of my life
I'll build a [Am]boat for when the river gets [G]high
And I'll meet [Fmaj7]a girl in the [C]heat of July
And I'll [Am]tell her so she knows [G]
That I'm [Fmaj7]broke, but I'm real [C]rich in my head
That I broke a [Am]bone that never healed in my [G]hand
So, when I hold her [Fmaj7]close
I might [C]loosen my grip, but I won't [Am]ever let her go
I won't ever let her go

[C] 'Cause I got too high, and [Am]you got [G6]scar[Am]scared
And the c[G6]cops jus[C]just laughed? [Am] [G]
[C] We can't make rent, so we [Am]window-[G]window-shop
[C] In the Upper West Side, [Am]oh, [G6]my G[Am]God
[G6]Could you i[Am]imagin[C]magine that? [Am]
Chorus:
Won't [G]be a[Fmaj7]alone for the [C]rest of my life

So, when I hold her [Fmaj7]close
I might [C]loosen my grip, but I won't [G]ever let her go
I won't e[G]ever let her go
