G D Am Em

[Verse 1]
Em             G
Rollin' in the pretty cars
Em          G
he's fallen behind
Em              G
Chandeliers and cigarettes
Em               G
you mays well be mine
Em           G                Em            G
I am waiting slowly for these times not to end
Em            G            Em           G
He is looking back at me to make sweet amends

[Pre Chorus]
Am
I won't know where to go
Em
if your love hurts me
D                      Am
I won't know where to go...

[Chorus]
G                D      Am        Em
We're driving to Mexico from Palo Alto
G               D                 Am          Em
Cruising past the fast cars and the little old ladies
G             D
Was she a star
           Am         Em
You're only asking me now
G                    D               Am
Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time
G                   D                 Am    Em
Weren't you watching her the whole damn time
G            D
I won't know where to go
Am           Em
if your love hurts me
G            D         Am      Em
I won't know where to go
G            D
I won't know where to go
Am           Em
if your love hurts me
G            D           Am
I won't know where to go

[Verse 2]
Em           G
Carnivals and honey bees
Em               G
It's just what I liked
Em             G
Hangin' by the glassy ties
Em                    G
When the dreamer was quiet
Em                   G
You're the kind that walks behind
Em                    G
Till you find what you need
Em                      G
And if the shells aren't perfect
Em                     G
Throw them back to the sea

[Pre Chorus]
D
I won't know where to go
C            Em
if your love hurts me
G                       Am
I won't know where to go...

[Chorus]
G                D     Am        Em
We're driving to Mexico from Palo Alto
G               D                 Am          Em
Cruising past the fast cars and the little old ladies
G             D
Was she a star
           Am         Em
You're only asking me now
G                    D               Am
Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time
G                   D                 Am    Em
Weren't you watching her the whole damn time


[Bridge]
Am                   D
Is there a place you know
      C
Where we can stop
           G        D      Am
Is there a place you know?
        G             D       Am
It's just how you talk to me that way
G                  D      Am     Em
it's just how you talk...

G                  D   Am      Em
We were driving to Mexico
                  G    D
Cruising past the fast cars
Am
  And they'll be saying to you
G             D           Am            Em
Was she a star you're only asking me now
              G           D       Am      Em
Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time
G              D                       Am
Weren't you watching her the whole damn time

[Chorus]
G                D     Am        Em
We're driving to Mexico from Palo Alto
G               D                 Am          Em
Cruising past the fast cars and the little old ladies
G             D
Was she a star
           Am         Em
You're only asking me now
G                    D               Am
Weren't you watching the whole goddamn time
G                   D                 Am    Em
Weren't you watching her the whole damn time

G             D
I won't know where to go
Am         Em
If your love hurts me
G            D          Am     Em
I won't know where to go
G             D
I won't know where to go
Am          Em
If your love hurts me
G            D          Am
I won't know where to go..
