(Intro)
[Fsus2] [Gsus4]
[Fsus2] [Gsus4]
(Verse 1)
[Fsus2]If I wanted to know who you were [Gsus4]hanging with
While I was gone I would have asked you
[Fsus2]It's the kind of cold, fogs up [Gsus4]windshield glass
[Fsus2]But I felt it when I passed you
[Gsus4]There's an ache in you put there by the ache in me
[Fsus2]But if it's all the same to you
[Gsus4]It's the same to me
(Chorus)
[C]So we could call it even
You could call me babe for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this [Am]down
I'm stayin' at my parents' house
And the [Gsus4]road not taken looks real good now
And it always leads to you in my hometown
(Verse 2)
[Fsus2]I parkеd my car right between the [Gsus4]Methodist
And thе school that used to be ours
[Fsus2]The holidays linger like [Gsus4]bad perfume
[Fsus2]You can run, but only [Gsus4]so far
[Fsus2]I escaped it too, remember how you watched me [Gsus4]leave
[Fsus2]But if it's okay with you, it's [Gsus4]okay with me
(Chorus)
[C]We could call it even
You could call me babe for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, write this [Am]down
I'm stayin' at my parents' house
[Gsus4]And the road not taken looks real good now
[C]Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
Now I'm missing your smile, hear me out
[Am]We could just ride around
And the road not taken looks real [Gsus4]good now
And it always leads to you in my hometown
(Bridge)
[C]Sleep in half the day just for old times' sake
I won't ask you to wait if you don't ask me to stay
So I'll go back to L.A. and the so-called friends
[Am]Who'll write books about me, if I ever make it
And [Gsus4]wonder about the only soul who can tell which smiles I'm fakin'
And the heart I know I'm breakin' is my own
[C]To leave the [Am]warmest bed I've ever [Gsus4]known
(Outro)
[C]We could call it even
Even though I'm leavin'
[Am]And I'll be yours for the weekend
'Tis the damn season
[C]We could call it even
You could call me babe for the weekend
'Tis the damn season, [Am]write this down
I'm stayin' at my parents' house
[Gsus4]And the road not taken looks real good now
[C]Time flies, messy as the mud on your truck tires
[Am]Now I'm missing your smile, hear me [Gsus4]out
We could just ride around
And the road not taken looks real good now
[C]And it always leads to [Am]you in my [Gsus4]hometown
It always leads to you in my hometown
