Driving Myself Home

Rose Betts


Tom: Em

G
My friend set me up on a date today
C                      G
And I forced myself to go
    G/F#     Em          D
But the best part of the date today
    C              G
Was driving myself home

G
I rolled down all the windows
      C               G
And I played a song I know
  G/F#      Em          D
Oh the best part of the date today
    C              G
Was driving myself home


[Verse 1]
     C            D
It's not as if he didn't try
    Ebdim                Em
His shoes were clean he wore a tie
    C                          D
And paid for my martini with a smile

        C                  D
And the conversation never stopped
   Ebdim                Em
I didn't even check my watch
       C                     D
And a view over A  is always nice

[Chorus]
      G
Well, my friend set me up on a date today
C                      G
And I forced myself to go
    G/F#     Em          D
But the best part of the date today
    C              G
Was driving myself home

G
I rolled down all the windows
      C               G
And I played a song I know
  G/F#      Em          D
Oh the best part of the date today
    C              G
Was driving myself home


[Verse 2]
     C                  D
It's not as if I didn't try
  Ebdim               Em
I wore my favourite dress and I
       C                        D
Showed up on time unusually for me

       C        D
But he shops in IKEA
      Ebdim            Em
and I think that his idea
      C                        D
Of my life is just a girl with silly dreams

[Chorus]
         G
Well, my friend set me up on a date today
      C                G
And I forced myself to go
   G/F# Em               D
But the best part of the date today
    C              G
Was driving myself home

G
I rolled down all the windows
      C               G
And I played a song I know
  G/F#      Em          D
Oh the best part of the date today
    C              G
Was driving myself home


[Bridge]
    C               G          D
And maybe if I step inside his eyes
     C                     G  D
I'll see myself and I will be surprised
     C                      G     D
Like who the hell is she to drive away
D
When she could have stayed the
C                   D
night instead In my king size bed

[Chorus]
         G
Well, my friend set me up on a date today
      C                G
And I forced myself to go
   G/F# Em               D
But the best part of the date today
    C              G
Was driving myself home

G
I rolled down all the windows
      C               G
And I played a song I know
  G/F#      Em          D
Oh the best part of the date today
    C              G
Was driving myself home
  G/F#      Em          D
Oh the best part of the date today
    C              G
Was driving myself home
